In Her Shoes MovieTie-in: A Novel

by Jennifer Weiner

The Feller sisters are equal but opposite. Maggie is the good-looking, dyslexic little sister who knows how to get anything she wants--but not how to keep it.

Adaptations 64 books / 59 members / 20 posts So... maybe the dialogue was fine, and the music was great, but the setting was pathetic - and the actor who played your favourite character probably never bothered to read the book!!...

What do YOU think of adaptations?

What books do you think should be made into films? And what do you think of ones that have been? Hate them? Love them? Want to lynch the director?... or marry the actor?

Open discussion on anything to do with adaptations! Feel free to join.

Movie Lovers 282 books / 1187 members / 4149 posts Welcome to Movie Lovers.

~~For information on the monthly Group Movies please click on the blue "more" tab below~~

This is the place to come to discuss all genres of movies, old or new, viewed on the big screen or the little one, and not necessarily book-related...

Many book-lovers also share a passion for movies, as they also tell a "story" of one kind or another, and many movies are based on our favourite books.

All movie-lovers welcome to join discussions, or create your own.
Feel free to resurrect old (or ancient) discussions if you have something to add!

Women Speak 353 books / 1250 members / 7529 posts This group is for women to speak about issues concerning women.

FOR WOMEN ONLY. No men are permitted to join.
(If you are a man and you received an invitation, it was by mistake. I'm sorry, but you are not welcome here. Kindly, remove yourself or else you shall be removed.)
Because of the nature of our conversations, if you are a girl (under the age of 18), please get parental consent prior to joining.

RULES:

NO religious debates. Take that up in a forum that is designed for religious debates. Refer to only your religious beliefs in that they help form your opinion. Do not speak of the tenants of a faith that is not yours.

No personal attacks. Do not use a member's name or any pronouns referring to a member with ANY derogatory comment, such as, naive, sexist, stupid, immature, etc.. Do not use any descriptions that demean a person's character, intelligence or belief's

Do censor your own comments prior to submission to ensure that they are respectful of the other members in the group.

Do pause before submitting in a heated discussion and take a second look at what you are about to submit.

Recommendations:
Be specific and don't use generalizations. When debating, be sure to counter specific points made and address the member who made the point.

Give people the benefit of doubt. This is the Internet therefore you don't have the vantage point of reading body language.

Ask for clarification. Ask questions. We could avoid a lot of hurt feelings if we first ask if a person is saying what we think they are saying.

State your position without expectation. The goal is to be heard and share your position. We're not here to win converts.

If you do feel attacked, address the offender directly and let them know that what they said (and be specific) hurt, upset, concerned you. And communicate this without countering with an insult. It's hard to listen when you're feeling attacked.

When stating statistics provide cite (web link, article, book).
