so i'm absolutely falling in love with this book.
though at parts, i admit i want to cringe.
but then i still want to keep reading the book.

i like the storyline. i like the way beverly gets straight to the point and doesn't linger on in descriptive details all the time. she describes just enough and not too much.

i've never read the book, but i love the movie. sounds interesting!

i'm the opposite. i never knew the movie was based on truth or that it was an autobiography first. to be honest, when i'd see it i'd just pass over it, but the book has made all the difference in the world to me on wanting to see it and compare. i can definitely recommend the book, though.

yeah you should watch the movie afterwards (and hope it doesnt ruin the book like some movies do, though doesnt sound like this one is like that).

i knew it was a true story but only because i read it in the credits.
thanks for the recommendation!

i will definitely check it out. sometimes i like books to movies like legally blonde. which i didn't know was a book first either until a few weeks ago but it's both a good book and movie as well.

i have one question about "riding in cars with boys" (without trying to be all 'spoilerish'), in the movie do they have the character 'bam bam'?

hmm not that i can remember?

funny you should mention legally blonde, i just watched the second one tonight. haha not as good as the first.

eek. oh well. i liked bam bam.
and i love them both, but i do agree the first is better.

and i stick to the theory that the first in any series in books and films both usually are, but i still keep an open mind wouldn't wanna miss out.

hehe nah not always! all the lord of the rings were equally good. :nerd:
same with kill bill - i love both.
and bill and ted's bogus journey is so much cooler.

i'm sure there are more!

i love quentin so much. <3
i think he does good at a lot of all he does.


on that note, i also got his biography for christmas. "shooting from the hip: quentin tarantino" by wensley clarkson.

o cool i didn't know he had one

yeah, he has a few. i dont think any of them were written by him, himself. but, i personally like the wensley clarkson one i have because he actually interviewed quentin's mom and such. baby pictures of quentin too! XD.
