    I decided to view them as two totally different stories....that way I could enjoy them both in their own way. I think that in the movie, the strangeness was overdriven compared to DWJ's story. I do love the book more then the movie though. But I also love "Dark Lord of Derkholm" and "Year of the Griffin", those are just pure fun ;)
    I always get weird looks when I say that DWJ is a better writer then JK Rowling, in the sense that Diana created a wider world then Rowling. :D

    Hi ! :D
    Diana Wynn Jones rocks ! :D How did you like Studio Ghibli's version of the story ? I have a soft spot for Miyazaki's films, but I feel that he made a completely different story than D.W. Jones.

    I didn't know about her board. Where is it? I'll definitely join. So, which is your favorite of hers? So far, mine are Dime Store Magic and Industrial Magic.

    I'll only accept your friendship request if stop drinking Starbucks coffee-it's awful corporate garbage ha-ha . You live in NYC-there's got to be a lot of local run delicious coffee stops. I know from personal experience in the Italian district-there's some excellent espresso. I'm bossy :)

    You should watch "unbearable Lightness Of Being" it was a great adaptation of the book. It's one of my favorite movies-Plus it stars Juliette Binoche & Daniel Day Lewis, it's hard to go wrong with those 2.
