Oh I’m happy to Lisa! I’m glad to hear your thoughts on The Giver. I will have to check out the movie too.

I’ve been telling my friends about it who loved The Hunger Games books/movies but I can’t seem to garner a lot of interest from them. I, personally, think the movie will be fantastic! By the way, thanks for stopping by Southern Girl Reads today!

It seems a simply-told story Deb, but it gets its point across effectively.

It is so rare that required reading effects people this way.

I know what you mean Chris. Sometimes you just have to see the movie first.

Go for it Kathy, it’s very short!

Luckily Ti — it’s a very short read. I’ll be interested to see what you think of it!

I haven’t read this one either but have certainly run across it a lot in bookstores and blogs. I’ll try to read it before seeing the movie, but there’s a chance I might just go see the movie. My old rule was to always read the book before seeing the movie, but I’m seriously falling behind on my movie watching as result.
