so far, half-blood prince is the only book my mom has blown for me ... haha

so basically my mom has read them all, and we have this tradition of seeing the movies together every year ...i know i'm such a chump haha but i cant get into the books, and at this point i'd rather just be surprised when i see the films, then have my mom fill in the missing stuff. she's been good at not ruining the surprises...til this last book. she spewed out the whole damn thing to me. there will be no surprise when i go see this movie

the movie is probably my favorite movie..just amazing actresses..great production..and kind of relatable..im not mental but sometimes...

hope ya like it

haha you were so right! it did go really quickly, and it's really well written, completely different from the film. the movie is good in its own right i will admit, and i kinda understand why the two are so different. the book, as it stands, would not translate well into film. i'm actually kinda surprised they even tried

but i really enjoyed the book especially the chapter on velocity vs. viscosity

I'm glad you enjoyed it. OMG I loved the chapter with the 'other' Lisa that came in and she wanted so badly to be like Lisa that she escaped the ward and got on crack or whatever. lol. I love Lisa even more now that I have the book. Don't you?

I saw a French movie called, "Cervantes", is it the movie version of "Don Quixote"? I never read it but I know it's by Cervantes so I assume it is- Oui?

Anyways, I liked the story.. I have a thing for sad endings and I liked that I knew what I was paying for from the moment I read the first page.
