I just loved the book.<br /><br />In reading your reviews, I've noticed we tend to think alike on some things, so I'm now planning to go!Laura@OutnumberedMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10764574855540659528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-41495105990139856612011-08-30T09:20:11.248-07:002011-08-30T09:20:11.248-07:00I also avoid "fad" books.

I'm the same way with the "fad" books, but this was one from my Not-Dallas book club. I usually caution people (when asked) about some of the crudities, but other than that I really loved it. I'm glad I read this review too, because I want to see the film, and I am heartened to learn that they didn't destroy it.BerlinerinPoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853762912371387793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-17141407736355893152011-08-30T09:10:10.965-07:002011-08-30T09:10:10.965-07:00I tend to avoid "fad books," too, but li...I tend to avoid "fad books," too, but like you, I have heard nothing but good about this one.

I'll have to find some time to sneak out by myself -- looks like a great "alone time" activity. :)Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00358457475010534626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-19623529249201670752011-08-30T03:17:45.897-07:002011-08-30T03:17:45.897-07:00This was actually assigned to my son's sophomo...This was actually assigned to my son's sophomore language arts class, so I had to buy a copy.

I read it last year so I don't think I can even place what your glaring exception is. LOL.

I just downloaded the audiobook from our library because I've heard that the audio is very well-done.<br /><br />It's so nice when you walk out of a theater and you aren't dissappointed!Andrew Wigginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02410277315760841133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31647067.post-44002163817696716432011-08-29T16:31:50.404-07:002011-08-29T16:31:50.404-07:00I read the book and thoroughly enjoyed it, haven&#...I read the book and thoroughly enjoyed it, haven't seen the movie.

Though I don't anticipate getting to the theater in the next decade (slight exaggeration) I do want to see this. <br /><br />I'm not sure I want to own it...we don't rent any more...just buy...but I may find it in a red box when it's time...if I can figure them out.Annette W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02498639468291720406noreply@blogger.com
