This has always been one of my favorites. Would love to see this made into a movie.
This is one of my favorite of his novellas! The unanswered questions are just part of the mystery that make your skin crawl a little. Always leave 'em wanting more! A current comparison would be maybe the dystopian governmental system of the Hunger Games. I have always wanted Joss Whedon to direct a film version, I think it would be incredible.
I loved this book UNTIL I read the ending. I felt let down in a way because even to this day I'm not really sure HOW it ended, lol. I guess I'm one of those people who like all the loose ends tied up at the end of the book. I remember finishing and being thorough confused (and I'm still confused!) - NOT how I like to be when a book is done!
OK, now I am curious to read this. I felt that the ending of 11/22/63 wasn't quite right so I don't know if I wll be disappointed with this one too. But I feel almost compelled to give it a try.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. We had the same reaction, I was sobbing at the end. These characters were so real that I really cared. I hope the movie does them justice.
I didn't realise they were making a movie, that will be awesome if they do it properly.
This sounds wonderful, I'm going to add it to my list.
It really was a fabulous book. I love ti when books make you really care.
I'm currently reading the Martian. It's really good.
I did watch the movie when it was in theatres, and you'll be impressed by how well they turned it into a movie. There are a few things different, but mostly because it'd be too hard to explain through images rather than words, I think.
This is going on my 'to read' list too.
I'm going to be participating, but cannot set a goal yet. I have followed the threads for the past couple of years, and enjoyed some of the really good recommendations from you guys.
Nice to have you here Mary Jo
Up next: The Light Between Oceans because of all the good reviews on here
I hope you enjoy it.
