This book is really popular or some might say a "classic". I've never really read sci-fi but i've hear this books got a lot of action so maybe i'll try it. Mary Period2
ReplyDeleteI have seen the movie, but never read the book. I am sure that it is just as good if not better than the movie. Like you said, this is a "classic" that everyone should read/see at one point or another. If you did see the movie, how was it different than the book?

Like Jordan, I have seen the movie but not read the book. I fully intend on reding this book due to how much i enjoyed the movie. The movie was very suspensful and I am curios as to how the author may demonstrate suspense in this book.
