Pre-King stuff, but I don't think I had ever read horror-ish type books before Stephen King and my parents didn't like The Twilight Zone. Wouldn't let us watch it. Think I watched this movie with a babysitter. Ha!<br /><br />As to the book and movie and which is better, I have a few that I saw the movie first, tried the book and then put the book aside. Practical Magic and How To Make An American Quilt are two I can think of quickly.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495669354860191042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-39278336401110840142019-01-31T05:47:55.521-07:002019-01-31T05:47:55.521-07:00Hmm....it's interesting, Cathy, that the film ...Hmm....it's interesting, Cathy, that the film was better than the book this time. But I can see why. Still, it's such an interesting premise, and probably worth reading just as a way of adding to one's perspective on the film.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
