    Bridge to Tarabithia

    Anybody read this book? It's coming out as a movie and it looks good. If you read it, did you enjoy it?
    I love Fenway, JoJo, Olivia and Nonnie!

    I read the book a loooong time ago, but I do remember some things from it. You probably don't want to know what I remember though lol it'll spoil the movie. I'm going to have to go through my bookshelf and see if I can find it again. But it was a very good book.

    It was IMO one of those really good books that you really like, but never read again. I read it once, loved it, but never felt like reading it again. *shrugs*

    I saw the trailer for it, kinda looked like a Narnia movie to me. My sister said she read it when younger and liked it.

    I just saw the trailer.

    Perhaps I'm recalling wrong, but I remembered all the creatures and things as being part of Leslies imagination.

    Anyways, usually when they make movies on books they suck. I hated harry potter, detested Narnia, all of them, the books are WAY better.

    No your right, because I watched the trailer too and thought the same thing. Wasn't it all in their imagination?

    I've noticed that so many movies these days are based on a book, is a remake, or something else. I rarely see a movie that someone thought up themself.

    Oh I read that in elementary school! I don't remember anything about it except that I loved the book. I think I was in second grade? Maybe third? Ok, so it was a long time ago.....in any case, I'm excited to hear that they are making a movie about it, and I bet I'll see it. Although I agree with GreyhoundGirl, the book is always better than the movie.

    Most movies are based on books, especially older movies. I really liked bridge to terabithia.

    I also read it in elementery school-I don't think it was meant for small children. Looking back on it, yes it's a great book, but to have a class of young children read it, I don't know,it seemed to be aimed for an older group. It was a little traumatizing for me back then.
