I saw the movie and I love it.
I heard its a book.I want to read the book.
Has anyone read the book? Is it any good.

I like when Woody said "quit shaking the bike." and then he told Billie "You're hurting my dilly dink.My dilly dink is my penis."
I like the other part when Erica showed him how to cast stones and make a wish and then he cast a stone into the river and said "I wish my brother was dead dead dead."

The movie shows peer pressure.We sometimes feel the need to go through great lengths to feel accepted.

Yea, i read the book.
It is almost absolutely different than the movie--its also short. I think 70 pages or so.

This was one of my favorite books when I was a child. I haven't watched the movie yet (about to watch it with dinner), but I've heard it's completely different. I'm not too concerned; the book itself was no masterpiece, just an entertaining read. You should definitely check it out for yourself.

The only thing that the book has in common with the movie is that in both, the main character eats worms. Other than that, they are totally different. But read the book, it's short, and it was a favorite of mine 30 years ago when I read it.

I asked the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.
