On a whim, I picked this movie up at Tower Records used VHS section for a mere $2. I really enjoyed the story (even the ending!) and I am really interested in reading the book. Is the book really better than the movie?
sharedude just read the book i never saw the movie but i can't believe they can make a movie out of it
No matter how dark the night, day always comes, and the journey continues
I thought the book was pretty good-we had to read for senior english and i was pleasantly suprised...
does anyone know where i can get a copy of the movie to watch...?

I haven't seen the movie, but the book is awesome. Very dark, but excellent at the same time...Not for the faint of heart, but a good read.
sharethis is one of my top 4 fave books, and top 4 fave movies.
the movie is slightly different than the book, but this is one of the few times that the movie doesn't let me down, i love it so much!
Hello. Yes you should read the book. While the movie remained faithful to the book until the end, there is much more to it than that handful of characters. Example: it shows alot of discussions between other characters about the chocolate sale. So yes, it is worth reading. Hope you enjoy.
shareThe Chocolate War is one of the best books I have ever read! Yes you should read it

DEFINITELY read it. It's one of my favourite books, has been since I first read it in the 7th grade (quiiiite awhile ago). The sequel to the book, if I remember clearly, was not as good... but still worth a read. Better than the movie by far.
shareI say yes, read the book. I haven't seen the movie yet, but I liked the book, however not so much the ending. They may have altered the ending in the movie though if you liked it. Or perhaps we just have different opinions. Enjoy! =D
shareI enjoyed this movie, i just saw it 2 days ago, it was interesting. I'll have to check the book out.

The book is probably better than the film because it is more realistic about life. Also, I want to warn you that the ending in the book is different than the film so don't be surprised.
