A few years late to the party.

I'm typically slow on the uptake when it comes to the current hottest thing, like TV shows, movies and books. I stumble across them weeks or months later and LURVE them and say, "Hey, this is awesome! Why didn't anyone tell me? Does everyone know about this? They do? For how long?" *sheepish grin* "Oh."

So, I'm reading The Time Traveler's Wife,

I love the book, I read it while I was studying at the Newberry Library, so it was like super cool. I haven't seen the movie and I really don't plan on it - I'm very picky about adaptations and I'd rather just have a perfect book then a okay movie. But then again, I'm picky about books too.

I'm super picky about books and their movie adaptations, so I hear you. Nothing is worse than loving a book and then having that sullied by a bad movie adaptation. (For this reason I have not seen (nor will I see) "Confessions of a Shopoholic".) The reverse was true for "Julie & Julia", though -- love the movie, hated the book.

The book is amazing, and I thought the movie was a much better adaptation than I had been anticipating. Not perfect, but very respectable.

Thanks for a positive review -- I'm still torn, though, because I am loving the book so much. Maybe I will wait several months after finishing the book before I check out the movie.
