We used to get most of the children's and YA books before they were published. So it was quite a while ago and I think that was why I was able to enjoy the film so much. I think had there been little time between the two it would have been a different story.<br /><br />Having said that there was less than a week between reading and watching Perks and I still enjoyed both so you never know. Truthfully though I will always have that little bit of prejudice against films from my favourite books.KarenSihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17875454663363953921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924802320400229726.post-18226416718663107052013-04-12T17:25:55.616-07:002013-04-12T17:25:55.616-07:00We just watched the movie.

Like you, the scene with Rue was when I started to fall in love with the book.<br /><br />I liked the movie but I didn't like it as much as the book. I really wanted to and I know why I didn't. I even know why the producers probably couldn't make it equal in my mind, let alone my heart.Satiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03227625739706115993noreply@blogger.com
