I have to have a book read for english by monday! Problem is..im reading The Green Mile by Steven King and im only on page 110 and its a 500 page book! I just havent had any time. I know theres the movie The Green Mile. Is it the same as the book? Or is it different?
I read Christine by Steven King and I remember most of it. Is the movie just like the book?
If anyone out there knows the answer to one or both of these questions please let me know! Im going to just watch one of those movies instead of reading it. Thank you and your time is appreciated! I'll rate generously!

It will take you about the same amount of time as renting and watching the movie anyway. You only have 400 pages left to go, just split it up between the next 3 days. You have pleanty of time. And the more you read, the faster reader you will become. [ jbdreamer's advice column | Ask jbdreamer A Question ]

It won't help you to watch the movie. Hollywood has ways of screwing up a good book. And there was a lot of descriptive stuff left out of Christine in the movie.

HellsBells answered Friday January 28 2005, 6:34 am: Be very careful. The movie is "based on" a book by Stephen King. I haven't read the book to know but the film is really good so worth a watch anyway. I did the same thing with my A-Levels and One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. The movie is only a perception of the book and different anyway. So basically, you need to read the book. Get started now and you've got the weekend to do it! GET IT READ!!! :o) [ HellsBells's advice column | Ask HellsBells A Question ]
