We were supposed to read to a certain point for this in english, but i
read the whole thing. This is an amazing short-long story.
It is very touching. The end is actually saddening. I
strongly suggest anyone to read it. (Oh, and if you dont know who this is...Prodigy knows me as emo boy.) -------------  |

lol you are quite emo.
But yes, it's incredibly sad. The movie (it's pretty old) does a good job portraying the book as well. I suggest Catcher in the Rye and The Great Gatsby as two other books you need to read. -Brent |

Ahhhhh I hated the book and the movie, ecspecially the hippie part. However paintballfriek is right cather and the rye kicks all, and to kill a mocking bird is also another great book. However my favorite ive read in english would ahve to be of mice and men, right now im reading the good earth not too bad either, but i suggest of mice and men by far -------------

I read that book in the 8th grade. It was good. The old movie "Charlie" was something that I wanted to see, but my lit teacher couldn't get it. "The Most Dangerous Game" was a good story too. That's in the Freshman Lit book. Movie's about books are usualy not as good as the books themselves. But one book that isn't as good as the movie is The Count of Monte Cristo. I really liked the movie, but I didn't watch the ending because I wanted to go get the book and read it first. That book took a couple of weeks to read, and I usualy finish a book that size in a few days. It was good, but there were about 4 different plots going on at one time that Alexander Dumas took way to much time to describe. ------------- Founder of the "Forumers Against the Ugly Woman Sigs" also known as FAUWS. |

probably the worst story ever the movie was hilarious because of the whole scene where all the lights are flashing and he steals the motorcycle and the people are dancing like idiots -------------
