The Bees Are Buzzing This Month


This month the movie, The Secret Life of Bees is coming out and I'm going to see it with a good friend of mine. She called me last night so excited and told me she finished reading the book and loved it! I contemplated for a moment whether or not I should attempt to read it in between all of the reading assignments I already have for school but decided it would be best not to. Although the way she made it sound, it was so tempting. Not only do I have so much to read for school but my rule of thumb has always been to see the movie first and then read the book. By doing it this way I get the details that were left out of the movie, ultimately expounding on the movie and getting to see it twice.

Which do you prefer: reading the book first or reading the book after you have seen the movie?

I prefer to see the movie first because too many times I read the book first and then the movie dissapoints me. Most movies just can't match the intensity of a good book.
I've learned the hard way, If I read a book first I wont go see the movie.

I would have to say I like reading book after seeing the movie. If I read the book first, I am disappointed when certain parts don't make it onto the big screen.
