1. I think so.

I read it in high school. The movie previews indicate several changes.

2. Absolutely!

Lois Lowery had some input in the movie, so I'm hoping I won't be too disappointed. Read the book first.

4. Thanks for the feedback! I've started the book and so far really like it. I can

tell its going to make me think and possibly look at things in a different way. I love books that can spurt my growth and so far I'm already feeling it.

5. Absolutely. My daughter spent the summer reading it and now I'm quizzing her.

This is the kind of book that's perfect for the DU crowd.
