Blessed Posted March 20, 2003 S.O.S I've read the Phillosophers Stone... but the film is so much better.

Yes, I would like to know... so tell! Hook you up with the book ... U want me to send it to ya..... ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ariadne Posted March 20, 2003 ^^^ really? I liked the book better (some directors cut out crucial parts and the movie sometimes becomes a mutilated shadow of the book...can you tell I'm a book person?). I know its a bit long .....maybe, I should read it, when it comes out and then tell it to all of you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Senora Posted March 23, 2003 I agree with S.O.S The Harry Potter books are great. Even if the books look real thick, the print is pretty large. I swear i read all the books in a matter of 2-4 days. They are just that good. Don't knock something until you tried it. BTW--- When number 5 comes out, I'll be glad to share my thoughts with you S.O.S.

StarGazer Posted March 24, 2003 Harry Potter? Oh come on, my lil siste(12 yr. old) is crzy about them. I think she finished the 3rd book by now. Secondly, I didnt' enjoy the movie one bit. What about Lord of the Rings, though I'd think it'll be a bit challenging since Its way too detailed than the movie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Senora Posted March 24, 2003 I agree with Tamina( except about the Harry Potter thing, lol!). The Lord of the rings books are interesting too. Though in my opinion i prefer the Harry Potter books, it's the book the majority chooses that we will actually read.............by the way, when are we going to decide on what book to read.

I like both Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. My mom and my 11 yr old sister both like harry potter. It's the only fantasy book that transcends age (little kids their parents, siblings, etc,.). Of course the movies are never as good as the books (I thought we all established that by now). The lord of the Rings challenging? yes, but easily read? of course. The secret is pep pills mixed in with coffee and taking a day off work and school or both. Detailed is one way to describe Tolkein's writing style another way is over-descriptive and dull (8 chapters to open the frickin door :mad: :mad: in the 1st edition ) .... but it was all worth it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
