Me too. No sharing of popcorn either!
Oh my - sorry to hear that! I love going to the first showing by myself. Usually about 3-4 ladies doing the same thing and it feels like a private showing! Try the first matinee and see if that's better that a big full theater.

I also read Flowers in the Attic and loved the books - couldn't stand the movie as they changed it too much. Same for The Firm. Almost didn't go to the Harry Potter movies because I read the books with my kids and was afraid the movies wouldn't be close but enjoyed both the books and movies. Haven't read the Help book yet but hope you enjoy both.

Read Twilight and Flowers in the Attic series over two or three times - now completely addicted to Janet Evanovick's 'Stephanie Plum' books.....#17 comes out in November....Start with One for the Money, then Two for the Dough and so on - you won't be able to get your hands on the next one fast enough!!!

I think I'm going to look online and buy the book now. Lets see if it's better or not.
What do you all think???

Right now I am reading The Twilight Saga again for probably the 5th or 6th time. And I've watched the movies umpteen times too.
My daughter just finished reading Flowers in the attic about a month ago too.

Books have time to be more detailed. Movies have to be edited to fit a certain time frame, so a lot of the detail from the book gets left on the cutting room floor. Sort of like a quilt - use bits and pieces, adjust, add something, delete something, until you end up with a finished product. That said, I try very hard not to compare books and movies, because they are two similar but separate items, not identical.However, when I read a good book, I often think they should make a movie out of it. Just finished a series of books lent to me by my brother - didn't think I would like them, but after reading the first two, I started thinking ....Gerard Butler, Jennifer Anniston as the two main characters.
