My library doesn't have it on audio, but I've added it to my wish list. I love Barbara Rosenblat, so I think I'll hold out until I can get it on audio. One of these days, I'm going to have to join Audible.com.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-4746830713075836852013-08-03T12:14:38.843-04:002013-08-03T12:14:38.843-04:00I really do need to watch this movie.

Brilliant is the perfect word to describe this one.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554217416500328610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-7994506239981286712013-08-02T18:26:54.622-04:002013-08-02T18:26:54.622-04:00I couldn't read it or watch the movie! :<)I couldn't read it or watch the movie! :<) Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-39762947430099692132013-08-01T10:26:37.437-04:002013-08-01T10:26:37.437-04:00I loved the book, didn't care for the movie. ...I loved the book, didn't care for the movie. I wonder if I was anticipating for two hours and it moved so slowly.<br /><br />Glad it worked for you though - Kevin is one of my top 5 books that has 'stayed' with me so I was hoping for the same experience on film.

I would like to listen to the audio though and I noticed my library does have it. First off I think people that don't want kids should not have them. No matter whether you try or not that child will always feel that distance. Do I think that parenting is always the reason a kid turns out bad - no. Some just are - I've seen it a few times even with my own family. I thought the movie was powerful but I'm saddened to see the differences. I think movies should follow books just as they are.

At first I was angry at the mother, then I was angry at the father (for his blind faith in Kevin), then I was angry at both, and finally I was angry at Kevin.

The book was far better, but I thought they did a good job - especially Tilda Swinton. Glad you've finally ticked it off your TBR pile :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698068501004755678noreply@blogger.com
