Safe Haven! I just watched that movie. I really liked it - possibly because I thought there was murder. Haha. Don't know if I'd like the book though.


message 10: by Melissa (new)

Melissa Ward | 96 comments The book's pretty good, for Nicholas Sparks ;) It brings you right into the psychopath's mind (those were my favourite chapters! forget all that mushy stuff)

I love The Princess Bride! Let me know when you're done! It's so different from the movie, eh?

I really liked it! And to be honest, although there was MUCH more detail in the book, I found it followed the movie pretty closely. Much of the dialogue was word for word the same as in the movie.

Francesca Rock | 131 comments Mod
Haha. That's true - there were a couple of parts that I really liked from the book that weren't in the movie though. ((said every book nerd ever)).
