I would never watch a film before I read the book...........I enjoy reading better than watching it on T.V. I think it's because I have a great Imagination and on T.V it's just there!!!! no Imagination.

I can't wait for the book........and July isn't soon enough

I totally agree Slinks I much prefer reading to the film/TV versions. Da Vinci Code, The Lion, Witch & The Wardrobe, Trainspotting, Fever Pitch, Bridget Jones etc..... I'm now trying to think of a time I prefered the film. Still love the Harry Potter films, though I do prefer the books.

Angela's ash's has got to be the one film that stuck in my mind for being the worse film ever.

The book had me in tears, and I loved the book. But god I was very VERY disappointed, it missed too much of the story out, and the best bits at that.

The worst film adaption has got to be Flowers in the Attic! Such a suberb book I'm sure they could have made a good film from it but it was so badly made. It was low budget, terrible acting didn't capture the feeling of the book in any way. A total disappointment.

pmsfl, i'll have to agree with ya on that one yee, it was complete crap

Sahara - film was rubbish - book by clive cussler was good. I watched the film with someone who hadnt read the book and she thought it was a good film. Said it wasnt as good as the book - the film missed out loads of what was in the book. Dont like the Jack Ryan films either well except for the 1st one they did - hunt for the red october and i saw the film then read the book.

Definately - especially when you get to the ingredients - try saying them when your sober never mind drunk!!!!

The only bit that does bother me is when they advise you not to drink alcohol with them.

Thats the question!

I really hope not, but I do think she will. To stop herself from writing anymore. All we know is that the last word in the book is "SCAR"
