I, too, was disappointed in the movie. I mean, it was entertaining I guess - but nowhere near as great as the book!

****White Oleander is one of The best books (novels that is) that I've
ever read.
The author's vocabulary and style are one of a kind! Was excited when
the
movie came out even though I knew it would be much less than the book.
The
movie was terrible. Maybe I'd have liked it better (though I don't think
so)
had I not read the book. I wasn't expecting it to match up, but it was
****way**** worse than not matching up. Lara............. ****


Oh, bummer. I read the book a few weeks ago and just rented the movie
to watch tomorrow night. Oh well, I'll watch it anyway.

I thought the new movie Holes was pretty true to the book, and the kids
and I enjoyed both.
