So Sydney and I finished the Hunger Games book. There was a lot of tears and laughs, but we got through it. The next day we went ahead and watched the movie. We got through it without as many tears, although (SPOILER -if you haven't read or watched the movie skip to next paragraph) when Rue died there was quite a bit of sobbing.
At the end of it I had to ask if she liked to book (although edited as it was) or the movie better. She instantly said the book. She said she liked the movie, but you got so much more of the story, understood so much more of the emotions and what the characters were going through in the book.
I knew she was my daughter!!!!
I've never seen a movie that was based on a novel that was better than the written word. Glad she came to that conclusion on her own. Books rock!
