I found ist mostly disappointing to watch the movie after reading the book.

I can't think of a movie from a book that I've been happy with.

I just finished "City of Ghosts" by Mary Beth Sammons, and it's amazing!!
A girl has a near death experience, and because of that, she can visit the sort of limbo between the spirit and mortal worlds. Her best friend and sidekick is Jacob, a ghost that can read her thoughts.

Is this a novel? "City Ghosts" by that author is about true tales of hauntings in American cites. Or is it one of the stories in that book? I'd like to read about that girl and Jacob.

My favorite SERIES of all time are:
1. Harry Potter
2. Hunger Games
3. Percy Jackson
(I want to read Keepers Of The Lost Cities, but I haven't had the chance to go to the library)
My favorite SINGLE books are:
-The Giver
-The Witch Of Blackbird Pond
etc....

And recommendations for good fantasy series?

If you want a good fantasy series, try the Fablehaven series by Brandon Mull. My sisters and I really enjoy it and we are old people and he is still writing it.

Have you read or seen The Princess Bride? One of the only times I've enjoyed the movie over the book. But the book is wonderful too!

Haven't read it, so can't judge the movie against the book, but the movie on its own is wonderful.

To Kill A Mockingbird has its sad moments. Reading it for a look into the time it was written is both sad and hopeful, when it comes to racism. It is a "coming of age" story, so the main character is learning about life: the good, the bad, and the very ugly.

The book goes into more detail about the characters pasts. And the pit of despair is really the zoo of death. Now I gotta read it again!

Dang, I could sit here and chat all day about books, but I gotta go get some stuff done. I'll be back later.

One of THE BEST books ever written, IMHO. The movie is equally good too, and I can't say that about many books-made-into-movies.

I’ve enjoyed it. It’s very interesting to read since I grew up and live in a small town in Alabama. I can really hear the accents. It’s also interesting because while so much has stayed the same over time even as so much has changed. There is a lot of wisdom to be found in it beyond just what the book is famous for.

Isn't that one one of the sad ones?

Yes but it’s definitely worth reading I avoided it for years because it was supposed to be sad but I really enjoyed it.
