THE LOVELY BONES- peter jackson (lotr) is making it, is anyone else a bit upset about this?

[lissielou]

i LOVED the book read it 4 times on honeymoon and cried each time, now jackson is close to announcing cast im a bit worried. how will he handle the more delicate scenes without it being icky, how will he handle suzys narrative, the intricacies of the relationships. will he botch one of my fave books of all time?

may I quote expat - 'It's like the Coldplay of fiction'.

you are a genius expat

I found it really upsetting of course, but also not particularly well written and I would not go to see a film of it in a million years. But I do hope it isn't ruined for those of you who would.

lissie though - 4 times on honeymoon? did you have a good time?!

Expat you always make me cos you say the things I darent!{grin]

oops; a codism.

You make me cos you say the things I darent.

And you just know it won't be an 18 certificate. To do justice to the book and the subject matter it should be (because it's not exactly a cautionary tale for kids, is it?)
Wouldn't recommend the book to anyone under 18.
