Frankenstein book was a little long to read and not very interesting to me. The pictures were good to have to somewhat visualize what was going on‚ but otherwise the book was a waste of time to me. I could never really get into it very much making it difficult for me to read it without getting bored of it. We also just finished the movie today with Carrie Fisher which was weird not seeing her shooting a blaster at storm troopers‚ but that is beside the point. It did not follow the book that we read

ENG.2 5/23/2011 The Road The Road was both a phenomenal book and film. While reading The Road I was both intrigued and interested as to how Hollywood would portray this story‚ and after seeing the movie I was impressed with how closely the film followed the book. Though the book was enticing and unusual the movie quickly surpassed the book in my opinion. Though the movie followed the book closely‚ there were some differences such as the amount of flashbacks the father has‚ the illusion of hope
