Guest guest Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 I love this book, too and agree that it, like most books, are better than the movies! I couldn't put DaVinci Code down and read it in three days. " The Notebook " was a rare movie that actually followed the book. " Holes " by Louis Sachar is another excellent book turned into an excellent movie. If a book comes out in the theaters, my boys have to read the book first before I take them to see the movie...we've read " Holes " , " How to Eat Fried Worms " , " Eragon " and of course, all the Harry Potters. I'm glad I have boys that enjoy reading as much as I do. What's fun now, is when they read a book, they talk about how it would or would not make a good movie. As you can tell, I read a lot more children's books than adult books. That's okay, though. At least our local librarians know us by name, now! Have a great weekend. --- stewlis@...> wrote: > My favorite book recently was DaVinci Code.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 I loved The Notebook. I went to a book signing and had my copy signed. The movie surprised me with how closely it followed. I love the Harry Potter movies, but haven't read the books. Kudos for getting your kids interested in reading! www.Lane.com www.IwakuniMCAS.com http://stewartlane.com/gallery/ Be sure to check at the bottom of every set of pictures for more pages in the set.
