It has just the right mix of scary and sweet, of tears and laughter. I just love it! And, no, I'll never watch a film made from this book, no matter how great it's supposed to be - the pictures in my head from childhood are too vivid and important to me. Nostalgia at its best!! :) Amazing, isn't it, that she started out writing chick-lit! http://boklista.livejournal.com/41817... (  )bookoholic13 | Feb 14, 2008 | 0.021 seconds to build listing
