I heard mixed reviews but I really liked it! By the end of the movie I was all emotional and felt horrible for Suise Salmon played by Saoirse Ronan. I think Saoirse did an amazing job-her narration was almost hypnotic.
Beautiful imagery!
I'm curious about the book now. Wow, I watched a movie first before reading the book!
We all want that first sentence hook-check out this one from the book!
"I was fourteen when I was murdered on December 6, 1973."
Who would not want to turn the page after that.
It was a tough subject to watch but it was done well. I did send the kids out of the room when I realized what was going to happen. It made for good conversation about stranger danger before they were bribed with candy to play upstairs....sorry I had to watch it! I would watch this movie again! Still sobbing about it on this Monday morning. I can imagine how emotional the book will be.
Anyone read it yet?

I LOVED this book. One of my faves. It makes me a little scared to see the movie...
I haven't read the book, but I did see the movie and I absolutely loved it (and that's rare for me to say for any adaptation), now I just have to track down the book because I MUST read it now.
Ooh, I want to see this and read the book. I'm glad you liked it. :)
