I loved it ..creepy yes...scary no....Tinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00472463335133795820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371194560616812613.post-62792781540688481212010-03-22T14:36:15.605-04:002010-03-22T14:36:15.605-04:00I read the book a couple of years ago, and really ...I read the book a couple of years ago, and really liked it.

The ending leaves you wondering all sorts of things.<br><br>I usually try to read the book first before seeing a movie too. I didn't know the movie was based on a book. <br><br>I've found reading the book then watching the movie or vice-versa, usually doesn't compare to each other. There is always a let down somewhere in the comparison. Kudos to you for reading the book after seeing the movie, I can't do that. I have to have the unknown when I read a book, it's also the reason I don't reread. Extreme reading is my thing! ;)Donna [F.D.

Let me know what you think of it! :)<br><br>@BCC<br>That was my problem. I didn't have tine to read the book before watching the movie. I probably should have waited a little longer to read the book, but oh well. I hope you enjoy the movie! :)Lily Childhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18387514456532980921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371194560616812613.post-17169633291919803382010-03-19T04:37:33.064-04:002010-03-19T04:37:33.064-04:00I am intrigued to read this book, but as I'm p...I am intrigued to read this book, but as I'm probably going to see the movie this weekend I don't have to time read the book first, which is always my preference. It does sound really good though and I'm pleased to hear that the movie closely follows the book as I hate it when they change too much. Thanks for the review! :)Book Chick Cityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13838008635965872830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7371194560616812613.post-83581874581518846192010-03-18T14:11:20.853-04:002010-03-18T14:11:20.853-04:00I really want to see the movie, but so am not goin...I really want to see the movie, but so am not going to see it in the cinema.
