Thanks for dropping by.
Amen, brother....Hi Paul S. Thanks for dropping by.<br /><br />Amen, brother. To Kill A Mockingbird is a wonderful book, no matter how many times you read it, nearly perfect for its time and place.<br /><br />I'm also a fan of the movie, though, and also think it is nearly perfect for its time and place. The film follows the story pretty well, and although it lacks some of the drama of the book, as all movies do, it feels true to the spirit of Harper Lee's work. My English teacher wife enjoys the book and the movie, if that is a good endorsement.<br /><br />I've not seen nor read Day of the Jackal, but will add them to the list.<br /><br />Thanks, Paul.I'm Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03637972629193722377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964211352680719860.post-6597379260188701112012-05-18T12:05:15.578-07:002012-05-18T12:05:15.578-07:00Like you I'm usually disappointed by book to m...Like you I'm usually disappointed by book to movie adaptations and I've put off watching the film To Kill a Mockingbird because it's one of my favourite books and I'm worried the film won't live up to my expectations.<br /><br />The Day Of The Jackal was one of the few films that I've enjoyed as much as the novel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
