Ha! I haven't seen the movie yet, but just from the comercials, that's really funny. I guess I won't read the book first, so that I can still enjoy the movie.

If I watch the movies, I see them as little re-caps of the books that can't really stand alone.Jachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01622919505576895393noreply@blogger.com
