I was thinking about reading The Virgin Suicides. I was just wondering if the book is any good because I saw the movie and didnt really like it ,so is the book any better

I´ve read it and likes it a lot. What didn´t you like about the movie? I thought it was a good adaptation.

the movie grows on you as well. I liked it even more the second watch. Because it's pretty different to most movies it might take another go.

I really enjoyed the book, it made the movie more creepy for me. It's definatly a must read.

The book is really good. The movie was a good adaptation. It's a bit depressing, but good.

I actually love "The Virgin Suicides" book as well as the movie. My one criticism of the book is it tends to loose speed near the end where as the movie keeps up a good speed.

I have always wanted to read the book, because I LOVE the movie and the soundtrack! I have to get back to work on Wednesday, maybe I'll order it then. (I am working in a book store!)

I would love to work in a bookstore (although I would probably buy more than I'd make) however I work at a bowling ally (which smells a little like feet- not good)
