Have you read Holes? if so what do you think of it and why?
ha! I was just writing about this in my PGCE application how weird.
Yeah I read this book, absolutely love it!
I've only ever seen the film which I loved. I find it hard to read a book after watching the film on it.
yeah loved it liked it bit better than film too
I read this before the film, and I loved the book, but the film dragged at first. However, about the book I believe I read it in high school and I'd read it again.
is The Warden the same in the book?Quote:

The novel is definitely worth buying, or reading at least. Pop to the library some time and borrow a copy if they have it in.
The characters are portrayed pretty similarly in the film, but not to exact likeness - expected with any transformation.
One of the ones I was asked to read when I was younger. Good book and I've read it again since, it's a nice one if you don't want something overly complicated.
I've read it a couple of times, it's a great book. It's definitely worth reading imo.
is The Warden the same in the book? as in the film?Quote:

When you say the same do you mean like does the same things? The movie if i remember correctly is one of few that actually is very similar to the book so I'm sure the Wardens the sameeQuote:

I do agree the film doesn't get going till half way through. i really want to read the bookQuote:
