I read the book and thought it was really good. You could see the ending coming from a mile off though!

Im still reading it... I hope to finish it soon. Although its in class, so I doubt it will happen.
I'll have to steal the one my sister has (once I get her to find it though ;D.)
EDIT:
Read it. I don't know why my teacher told me I might cry. Sure it was sad- but it wasn't as sad as I wanted to cry myself to sleep. Although from now on Im going to listen when people tell me its sad, so i don't read books RIGHT before I go to sleep. Doesn't leave you feeling all that great... you know?

I love this book. It is beautifully written and the ending is so sad. The film was a bit of a disappointment though.

It's not really worth watching. The child acting sucks.

Oh it was ok! I thought that the child acting was ok- it could have been better. But I think it showed the innocence and ignorance. We never did see right to the end credits because we had to leave or we'd miss our buses.
It was so sad though, because Catherine is like, uber emotional. And she kept almost crying at everything. And nearing the end of the movie, she grabbed my arm, and burst into tears! I had no idea what to do! She almost made me cry because of that... Then the boys laughed at her, and I wanted to smack them- I attempted to punch Carter but his little gang was there to protect him...
I find it funny how hes brave enough to say stuff to me in front of his little gang, but on the bus without them, he ignores me, and stays away so I don't beat him into the ground. -_-
ANYWAY.
Boy in striped pj's = Good!

Meh. It bored me. The fact that it has such a simple plot makes it unsuitable for film.

The ending in the book was better as it was less explicit than the film ending. I prefer it to be implied.
