Everyone in this novel is pretty messed up, and that’s refreshing. Also, James Franco is releasing a film adaption of the book, so you have to read it before that comes out, too.

Not me.

I am very rarely pleased by a film adaptation.

I would much rather see the movie first. That way I can enjoy both.

“I would much rather see the movie first.”

That’s my non-reader daughter’s advice. And maybe it’s right. After my complete frustration with “Silver Linings Playbook”....I had to stop watching it because all I kept doing was saying “That’s not how it is in the book!”

And my kid said: you’d never say the reverse, would you? And I had to agree.

For example, I said before I just read Frankenstein, very different from the movie. But could I get annoyed with Ms. Shelley that other people changed her story? No, how could I?
