Friday Five for August 25, 2006

   Posted by: Yoggie    in Friday Five

1. What book or books were special to you in your childhood?
The Martian Chronicles, War Of The Worlds, and Dangerous Planet.

2. What was particularly special or memorable about those books?
The writing and stories.

3. Have you re-read any of them as an adult?
Yes, The Martian Chronicles and War Of The Worlds.

4. If so, were the books as good as you remembered them?
Better. Some of the concepts were more clear.

5. What do you think about movies being made out of children’s classics (like the Chronicles of Narnia, Lord of The Rings, etc.)?
First of all, Lord Of The Rings is not a children’s book. I shy away from movies based on children’s books since the ones I have seen are poor and disappointing adaptations at best.
