I have avoided it because I am not good with scary, lol. I think I have read maybe 2 horror books ever and almost as few movies. I need to try it out as Halloween approaches, though. In a very well-lit room, perhaps.

I liked the movie, but felt the characters were drawn a bit superficially and were somewhat cliched. One of the strengths of a novel -- vs. its movie adaptation -- is often richer character development. Maybe I should give this book a go.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455799919149349621.post-11292791586263539282012-10-09T09:02:08.402-07:002012-10-09T09:02:08.402-07:00"Literary Sorbet" -- I love that! :)"Literary Sorbet" -- I love that! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455799919149349621.post-8763585797355043492012-10-09T08:54:23.346-07:002012-10-09T08:54:23.346-07:00Oslo, August 31st will hopefully arrive from Netfl...Oslo, August 31st will hopefully arrive from Netflix this week, so I should be seeing that in the next couple of days. I still need to see The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel too.<br /><br />I rewatched The Cabin in the Woods. It holds up very well, and I even liked it more the second time. While it probably won't make my top 10 of the year list, I'd give it a solid 4/5.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08596682195753811295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4455799919149349621.post-66959576458877607462012-10-08T18:11:33.734-07:002012-10-08T18:11:33.734-07:00Invisible Boy looks like a great read.
