I knew they had changed the age of the girl from the original book, but I think it works. It really gives her a reason to want to drink from the spring. I love the ending of the movie! ;)Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04030109870736499425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-41247212952601018962011-05-18T11:25:10.803-07:002011-05-18T11:25:10.803-07:00This book gave me the creeps...we read it for our ...This book gave me the creeps...we read it for our Mother/Daughter book club...was glad that my daughter was a slacker that month and didn't read it.Gerbera Daisy Diarieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11605934758292568280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-27924119422385190542011-05-18T10:52:29.311-07:002011-05-18T10:52:29.311-07:00Thanks for your reviews, Carrie.

My absolute favorite line in the movie is (vague spoiler) when Winnie has just sent the jailer scurrying out the door, and chirps "help!" one last time. The pleased look on her face at accomplishing something daring and impossible that she never would have dreamed of attempting a week ago tells me she is going to have a right fine life:)Three Turtles and Their Pet Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14097199417023865939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-34866521547706824982011-05-18T07:23:28.076-07:002011-05-18T07:23:28.076-07:00I saw part of the movie at some point, but didn...I saw part of the movie at some point, but didn't get as much out of it without the perspective of the whole story.
