Holy shit! I've been waiting and waiting for this to become a movie.

I'm nervous that it won't live up to the book, but I'm still so excited.

I know! I wonder if they will work Death in as the narrator somehow.

Sorry to admit this but I could noootttt get through this book. I don't know why, I think it was the writing style. I'd love to see the movie to see how it ends.

I'm glad Hollywood is diving into books lately. Time for some fresh material.

[goaskalice]

That looks really good! I'm going to have to get the book. My friend told me about it and I've been slacking on my reading, but I bet I'll devour that one.

[FastHands]

There is a part of me that thinks it is so wrong for this to be made into a movie.

That said, I will totally watch it.

[bania]

This looks really good! I may need the book too.

It's one of my all time favorites (in case my enthusiasm here didn't give that away, lol).

Thanks for the rec! I've been looking for something new to read


ANyone read City of Bones? Thoughts?

[sapphireblue]

I am a total lurker but this is one of my all-time favorite books! I just watched the trailer and I got chills and a little choked up. I am a big sap.

I didn't even know it was being made into a movie. It looks good!

I couldn't get into it, either.  I should try again though.

The trailer looks amazing, oy! I got chills.

And I agree, re: Hollywood!

I used to be pretty anti-bookintomovie.

But if you look at them as separate entities it helps a lot.  I try not to compare the two a lot and focus on what makes each enjoyable/unique/etc.

The kumbaya of media, if you will, lol.

[EmilieMadison]

OMG, I cannot wait for this. Just based on the preview, it looks like it is cast very well.

I don't genereally care, nor do I mind when movies depart from the books in even significant ways. But something about THIS book, with all the talk of the power of WORDSSSS.... read the boookkkk. *sigh*

You should only be able to get a ticket to the movie if you've already read the book.

[IndiaInk]

That looks wonderful! Such a powerful story - it will be great on the big screen!

[Deleted]

Okay, I think that's fair.

Did you see The Writer or whatever it was? THAT was a failed attempt at putting the importance of words on the screen. Good lord that was a bad movie.

[fortnightlily]

I thought the trailer got a little cheesy in the middle with the voiceover, but that otherwise this looks really good. Though I also was a bit worried that it opened with her voiceover -- I hope they haven't changed the narrator! That was such a powerful aspect of the book.

[blueshirt2003]

I can't wait to see it. I really enjoyed the book.

[Doggy Mommy]

I can't wait! It's one of my favorite books ever.

[kaybee85]

I'm always thinking about teaching this book. I love it. so. much. Unfortunately, it is kind of long and I teach middle school (6th grade this year). The writing is SO beautiful. I love the figurative language and love love love death as the narrator. I'm excited for the movie, but also nervous that it won't be a good representation of the book.

[Deleted]

I wish I head read the book earlier- I held out for such a long time but finally read it a few months ago. It's amazing.

I am curious how they will address the narrator of the book- are they leaving that out?

[winelady]

I can't wait for this! Loved the book.

Yeah I could have done without the VoiceOver.

No, never heard of it. Good book turned bad movie? Or just bad movie about writing?
