Goldfinch Bookclub questions

[Gumnast2014]

Hi my turn to host Bookclub and I have chosen the goldfinch which I loved.

Anyone got any idea of any different sort of questions or even games that we could do? googling brings up same old things everyone always goes. I want to be a bit different!!!

What happens after the Goldfinch, which country is Boris in now? How is Hobie? (Don't want to put down too many questions in case I ruin the story)

Film or TV series suggest ideas on how it could adapt to the small or big screen. Who could direct the film/TV series.

Who would play the central characters in a film/ TV series and why would you choose them for the role?

Ooh you are ace! Did you love it?

Who do you think for film?

[twostepsister]

I loved it and still can't get it out of my head. I loved the Las Vegas section and after reading another fantastic book, 'We are called to rise ' by Laura McBride, also set in Vegas, it pretty much described the outskirts of Vegas in a similar way.

For the film:

Ezra Miller - Boris
Aaron Taylor Johnson - Theo
Liam Neeson - Hobie
Molly Quinn - Pippa
Jennifer Lawrence -Kitsey
Helena Bonham Carter - Theo's mum
Christian Bale - Larry Decker
Denise Richards - Xandra
Cate Blanchett - Mrs Barbour
Nicholas Hoult - Andy Barbour
Andrew Garfield - Platt

Maybe have maps out trying to find places/streets in NY, Las Vegas and find on maps other towns and cities mentioned in the book?

Print off a copy of the actual painting - the pic in the book is so small.
