And because this is such a fan favourite, you really needed to have the author putting everything together to make sure it satisfies all those people.

In particular, "You accept the love you think you deserve." has got to be one of my favourite quotes of all time. That is one that will stick with me to the end! I knew I wasn't ever going to be able to truly review this book - some are just so good that it's hard to put into words what you loved about it so much!<br /><br />This was the first I've seen of Ezra Miller - I'm definitely a new fan now and will hopefully get the chance to check out his stuff!<br /><br />That is just BEYOND cool that you got to interview him! Gah, that is SUCH a big deal. Congrats, Lauren! I will definitely check it out next and I will also look forward to your movie review!Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-59216592161196651932012-10-09T23:15:54.766-06:002012-10-09T23:15:54.766-06:00Heh, I would argue that a book that create such di...Heh, I would argue that a book that create such differences in opinions and discussions is still a good thing though, right? :)Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-58809486787743620872012-10-09T23:14:52.871-06:002012-10-09T23:14:52.871-06:00That's a very good point and I think it's ...That's a very good point and I think it's definitely an advantage for the movie that it probably has a wider possible viewing audience.Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-81007407982690311892012-10-09T23:04:37.360-06:002012-10-09T23:04:37.360-06:00I can understand!

I think Ezra Miller would be a fantastic Patrick and having Logan Lerman playing the role of Charlie would be so interesting. I'm mostly excited to see Emma Watson (oh be still my Hermione-loving heart!). But, as per usual, when it comes to movies-made-from-books, always best to read the book first - I'm telling all my friends to!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-71226297371693275952012-10-08T19:51:58.727-06:002012-10-08T19:51:58.727-06:00I am so excited to see The Perks of Being a Wallfl...I am so excited to see The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I read the book back in March and was so excited to find out that it was going to become a movie. And I agree with you completely - I think it's important to have a director who actually cares about the source material and strives to be faithful to it. In this case, it's pretty awesome that the author is the director. Glad you enjoyed it and I can't wait to see it!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052456915027241479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-40395663494711177432012-10-07T13:03:14.118-06:002012-10-07T13:03:14.118-06:00I'm not a big movie watcher but I do plan on s...I'm not a big movie watcher but I do plan on seeing this one.

The trailers didn't even hint at it for me. Well I guess he might have looked amazed or awed by her so...<br />I'm not surprised by Patrick. He sounded like he could be quite the character. How was Mae Whitman? I know I saw her in there. I love her.<br />As you can tell I haven't read or watched the movie but I really have wanted to after watching the trailer.<br />Good thing Logan was good.

Isn't it so much better when the author is involved? I wish all book to movie adaptations were like that. <br /><br />I really like Logan Le...(though apparently not enough to remember how to spell his name!)Glad to hear he did a good job. I can imagine him being able to pull off the emotional scenes. I love that you mentioned Hermione, erm, Emma Watson (obviously you can see where my thinking lies). I didn't even connect that she'd have an American accent! Interesting. I almost wish she'd just have kept her British accent if she couldn't fully pull off an American accent. <br /><br />Thanks for the great review!Small Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072352095510905410noreply@blogger.com
