Young Adult Book Reading Challenges discussion

What do you think of the movie? Did you like the movie or the book better?

The movie was, for once, better. I lurrrvvveed the movie, it was great XD

Courtney, what did they change, and why do you think it was better? I haven't seen it--I meant to, and read the book because the movie was pending, but after devouring the book I couldn't bring myself to go watch the film!

i really loved the movie. (one thing that made it better for me was the limitation on the "f"-word.) i thought that the movie was well cast, and it was great fun having "faces" for the characters. it was also fun to actually hear the music. i'm not sure if i liked the movie better than the book - but it was at least as good (so watch for the DVD, Alethea!).

oooh... I was thinking of watching the movie as I haven't yet but I will definitely do it now :)

I'd like to check it out. It's not out on dvd yet,right?

I'm definitely interested in watching the movie.

Just checked - it doesn't come out at the movies here(NZ) till February!!! :(

oh, Mel, I'm with you there! I'm in Australia & it doesn't come out at the movies til Feb here too :p
Bummer!

I just saw the movie and there were some changes and additions but the think both versions are good in their own way. The only thing I wish they didn't change was I liked that in the book it was Nick who asked if Norah could be his girlfriend for 5 minutes not Norah. I give a thumbs up to both!

OMG! February!! When does Twilight come out?

Twilight is showing now...

Wow. Nick and Norah came out in the US of A before Twilight..

This movie was quite different from the book, and usually that would drive me nuts, but I loved it! Maybe good music can always win me over ... the soundtrack rocks. I especially loved the focus on Caroline, she was perfect. But why did they have Nick ask Norah the 5-minute question in the beginning? They couldn't keep that one little part true to the book!?!

Just reserved my copy at the library so I should get it after I finish the book!

hm...

movie because the whole book had more of a purpose rather than the random wandering they were doing in the book

in the movie, they were looking for fluffy, caroline, etc.
although tris was a lot bitchier in the movie

I couldn't get halfway through the movie! Although I was watching it with my husband; I think without him around I would have been much more forgiving. Maybe I'll try watching it on my own later.

well the book gave the characters more background, but the plot itself was better off in the movie

I finally saw the movie. I really like the actors in it. Plus I like Michael Cera! He's fun to watch.
