Yes, I couldn't agree with you more. However, I watched the movie because I was bored (plus I like the actors in it).becki_uk wrote:It's advisable to read the book before seeing the movie, though the movie is only based on the book and it's usually different and full of cinematic effects. I suppose it could be compared to watching different versions of a movie- they're all different but based on the same storyline.

I am not. I cannot add another book right now. But hope that the people who are reading it enjoy it.

Re: Who is reading or plans to read this book?
I could read. I know we have it here at the library. Most people that have read it, didnt' quite like it. The structure of the book wasn't all that cracked up to be. But, I'll give it a try. It was the Time Traveler's Wife right?

Re: Who is reading or plans to read this book?
Oh, that book.
It's been sitting in my massive "to be read" pile for a year or so.
The "peoples"
in one of my other more serious literary clubs really dissed it something awful. The general consus there was "don't bother". Described it as "phenomenally uninteresting".
I wish I learned all that BEFORE I bought it.

Re: Who is reading or plans to read this book?
I'm thinking about reading this book. I saw the movie and am hoping the book is better. I don't know still contemplating... Does anyone know if its better than the movie?

Re: Who is reading or plans to read this book?
Read the book and I had to read three more books before I had it out of my head. I would participate.
