And at that point you realized the message of the story, about letting go. And then you witness at the end how the universe takes care of its own garbage.<br /><br />I have never read the book, I saw the movie. And I think it is great.

I would die. I'm sure I would die. <br /><br />@Kristin- I have LOADS of scary stories from Florida. I think the fact the state looks like a sideways gun maybe has something to do with it. <br /><br />@Sam- I totally do the run & jump thing. <br /><br />@Erin- thank you baby. ;)<br /><br />@Sara- No, I've never seen Shooter. Or if I did I don't remember. I'm such a movie slacker.

I just started blogging this month. I haven't read the book and probably won't......so much scary stuff for me and I hate scary movies. I am also terrified of the dark and I still sleep with a nightlight on....or would never sleep.<br /><br />My blog is at http://chaoticworldofasinglewoman.blogspot.com/<br /><br />Where did you get your blog template? I love it! <br />ErinAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05630903866176029281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414435776825765041.post-62284831395615040812010-02-26T10:36:52.827-06:002010-02-26T10:36:52.827-06:00Loved the book.

I dont want to see the movie though, not because it looks too scary(well partly), but because I have an image of all the characters and how everything played out and looked and im always disappointed when the movie doesnt match up in my head. I know that will never happen but I actually dont like some movies because its not how I pictured them, I guess thats why they say the book is always better than the movie. I am terrified of the dark too, not running and jumping across the room into bed scared ;), thats only because I stand on my bed to turn the ceiling fan light off. Man do I get under the covers fast though. :)Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10851657884109691644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414435776825765041.post-64993800262294083632010-02-26T09:51:27.382-06:002010-02-26T09:51:27.382-06:00I too am overly aware of the dark.

(I think it's from going to college in Detroit.)<br /><br />I'll take your word on the book. I'm too chicken to read it. Plus, having my own little daughter (only 1 but still) I freak out abnormally when I hear or see or read about children getting hurt now. Much more than before I was a mom. <br /><br />(BTW, I stumbled over your blog a day or so ago. Nice place you got here.) <br /><br />spiritphoenix424@yahoo.comSpiritPhoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10355755804391063416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414435776825765041.post-14469948828210618922010-02-26T09:05:53.252-06:002010-02-26T09:05:53.252-06:00I read that book a few years ago and was not entir...I read that book a few years ago and was not entirely impressed. I don't know if maybe it was that time of my life or what but every time someone raves about it I find myself saying, "Really? I thought it was really slow moving and boring in parts." <br /><br />I'm actually hoping the movie will be better. My sister in law didn't like it but she loved the book. So we'll see.<br /><br />You should read Lucky, which is by the same author.

I agree it can be slow, but I really love it. I used to have dreams that are similar to Susie's situation...so that may have something to do with it.

I do plan on seeing the movie because I am a horror movie maniac and am secretly in love with Mark Wahlberg. <br /><br />PS: I am scared of the dark too - and also of clowns.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
