They found the film okay but nowhere near as adventurous as the book! Now when they see a new flick they want to try and finish the book first.<br />The big trick is convincing those teen boys in school that reading will be fun if they just give it a go!Charmaine Clancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06642615452680721583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945626570622121439.post-53196639310965384352010-04-28T20:04:59.509-06:002010-04-28T20:04:59.509-06:00I read that Dr. S book every year in the end of th...I read that Dr. S book every year in the end of the year.

Then I adore those I can go to and smell, and touch, and see, and really be in.<br /><br />When I saw Alice in Wonderland I decided I was in a different Wonderland and that worked to make it enjoyable. I loved the animation--the characters I'd known from childhood. I let the movie makers take license with the story. A different medium.
