I ordered this book after having seen the movie twice in two weeks, it was for me, one of the best movies i've actually seen in my life!
I got the book a week ago, only to find James Franco on the cover of it, which really got me frustrated because i too wanted the original cover... Did you notice they also renamed the book to "127 hours: between a rock and a hard place?" grrr. Anyways, i'm half way through and it's AMAZING. i'm subscribing :)
I read the book a few months ago and finally watched the movie this morning. Where the moved was lacking is the book's introspective detail. So many elements in the movie are lost on the view without and grounding in Ralston's narrative. And I felt there was a major change you would not notice unless you read the book first.
Something I've seen people do is actually read the book on YouTube, search 'Alex reads Twilight'. Only you can actually read a decent book and not take the mick out of it as you read. C:
I'm a crap reader, I may join you on this, can't this month as I'm way too busy, but I might try and pick up whatever you read next month! :D
A book a month is a fine pace. Hope you enjoy it! I'm reading "The Mezzanine" by Nicholson Baker right now. It's psychotically detailed...but done very lovingly...so, there's passion & humor infused into his minutely detailed observations...they're not just a mind-numbing diction of facts.
@TheMellyMoose More tanned? Lol. Afraid not....I wish. Maybe it is my make up. When I get a bit more time going to start playing with editing more. :-)
Liked the book a lot
