This is pretty much my favorite book of all time. I like how it has the use of slang almost like a whole different language. Kubrick did a fine job with the film.

What did you think about the exclusion of the final chapter in the film?

Raust 06-27-2009 11:11 PM

That is true I was a bit let down by that, but I thought it was still a great film. Keep in mind in the American release of the book the last chapter was excluded maybe he wanted to stay true to that, i don't know.

It's one of my favorite films of all time and I actually didn't mind that they left out that chapter.

Oh, that reminds me, we did actually read this fantastic book - it was one of the very few I enjoyed:

Man I loved Deadly Unna, I've probably re-read that book more than any other. I always used to pull it out for book reports. It was never on the curriculum though.
Maestro was though, and you're right - there's something about the book that stops you from really being sucked in.

I'm looking at The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nightime right now, I think my sister was given it at Christmas. The description put me off reading a little, but this encourages me.

I agree with you on Maestro, it was okay but for some reason I could never really get into it.

I'm looking at The Curious Incident of the Dead Dog in the Nightime right now, I think my sister was given it at Christmas. The description put me off reading a little, but this encourages me.

Deadly Unna was on our curriculum for year 8, which was pretty taboo for my school at the time, 'cause it had words like fuck and cunt in it regularly. A lot of parents complained. I thought it was pretty cool at the time but looking back I don't think it's that exciting.

Definitely read Curious Incident. It is easily one of my favourite books. It's fantastic.

Yeah, I probably haven't touched it since around year 8. I tend not to revisit my childhood favourites for fear of ruining memories.

I wonder which came first, that jacket design or this album cover?
