It's not often the movie of a book is better than the book itself. Usually, copious amounts of the book are left out and key features of the plot not even slightly touched upon (*cough* HP 5,6,7 *cough*). I have never found the movie of any book to be more interesting and emotional. However, I just read The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas over the weekend after watching the movie a few weeks ago. The book wasn't very well written but maybe that's because it was being told from the angle of a nine year old boy and his style of speaking. Although it's supposed to convey a young boy's experience with the extermination camps in WWII, I didn't think the language was very good in communicating raw emotions and especially the ending! The movie was done so much better!!!! I cried for hours upon hours after watching the film and this book didn't even trigger a tear. I am deeply disappointed.
On a happier note, TRIALS ARE OVER!!! HOOOOOORAY!
