BkClubCare If I watched TV 📺 I would be excited!! But sadly (?!) I don‘t do much box-watching. But when I am in the mood to watch books (films based on books), I will search for it in the future 4mo
MoonWitch94 WHAT?!?!?! Oh I must‘ve missed this! I WANT to be excited…but adaptations are always tricky. I hope it‘s done well. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 4mo
Reggie I can‘t. In the same way I can‘t ever watch Call Me By Your Name, in the same way I will never read the sequel to Aristotle and Dante. I can‘t. That book is near perfect and what I have in my head is good for me. 4mo
annahenke This would be hard to watch I think on multiple levels - the content and the rich literary history of this book Among them. 4mo
Readergrrl I agree. Very mixed emotions. I teach this novel every year, pairing it with works from living poets and sources from LearningforJustice.com. While I‘m eager to see it adapted for the screen, now I‘ll have entire groups of students who will never open the book. 😢 And, frankly, some of the scenes in this novel will be watered down by the film when they are better left to the reader‘s imagination. 3mo
