I've never seen the movie. Is it a faithful adaptation?

Well... I old, black and white version is the good one... That one actually follows the book very well. We just finished this movie.

The newer 1990's version, kinda goes off the book... We haven't finished this one, because we don't want to get confused with this movie and the book, since we will have a test on the book.

It's sad when I saw them kill Simon... (I'm guessing you read the book.)

I never read the book, but I saw the movie. The one from the 90's or whatever. My brothers have told me that that movie doesn't really follow the book. I've watched the movie a few times though.. Usually out of boredom.

My brothers have read the book.. since in 9th grade in Michigan, you read that, To Kill A Mocking Bird and Romeo and Juliet. I have no idea what we read in Florida. I guess nothing. O_o

Lol the book is good, and when I read it, I was horrid about what happened to Piggy D:
I've tried watching the movie, the beginning was pretty good, but about 30mins into the movie, I got dead bored ._. and fell asleep lol

Don't remember when I read it, never watched the movie though.

What those kids did... it's just horrible. D;

I think the movie came out in 1990.
