I'm dying to see "Where The Wild Things Are." I'm sure the books purists won't like it ... it seems more "inspired" by than anything.Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-43056069124760610742009-12-13T23:54:40.823+00:002009-12-13T23:54:40.823+00:00Thanks for the reviews and updates.

I decided to save the money and wait for the DVD.<br /><br />As to the "Lovely Bones", the previews looked lush but I had planned to read the book first, though it seems that you didn't muc care for that either.<br /><br />"Pride and Prejudice and Zomies" is high on my To Read List".<br /><br />:-)Tracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14266639444882900212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-45839803447089827312009-12-13T22:23:40.275+00:002009-12-13T22:23:40.275+00:00i love 'Where the Wild Things are' refuse...i love 'Where the Wild Things are' refused to read 'the lovely bones' and yet to read 'P&P and Zombies'.

I recently listened to it on audio (yet to be reviewed) ad I was not really impressed either. I was actually hoping the movie would be better and help pull my thoughts about this book up and help create a better review but reading what you say here... maybe that is not the case. <br /><br />A wonderful post today! Very interesting stuff as I love books made into movies!Sheila (Bookjourney)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05354184020340930630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-75630067934276763932009-12-13T15:58:37.704+00:002009-12-13T15:58:37.704+00:00I read Lovely Bones a year or so ago, and although...I read Lovely Bones a year or so ago, and although it got good reviews, mine wasn't one of them.

I can see some appeal to children, but it is slow in places -- so kids who are used to lots of action and distraction may find that difficult. But I thought it was really quite well done.
