Love K&C, although its been ages since I read it.

Had erased that one from my memory. You are right though, it's going to happen and they aren't all going to be good.

The hope that a family or a future can be saved through something so simple as writing and illustrating a comic book. Even when one or both main characters become disallusioned the glimmer is there.<br /><br />Kate, I can see your point too. Generally it doesn't spoil the book for me but it still angers me/irritates me that a good book can be made a hash of.KarenSihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17875454663363953921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924802320400229726.post-48464236836138752782011-05-05T06:30:35.138-07:002011-05-05T06:30:35.138-07:00I don't mind that that my favorite getting mad...I don't mind that that my favorite getting made into films.

I have to agree with you on both accounts: K@C should never be turned into a movie based on how incredibly amazing and detailed it is and, on the second note, I hate to see most of my favorites turned into movies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
