I saw the movie! Man, it was awesome, but it wasn't anything like the trailers showed it to be. It wasn't a thing like "Narnia", it was more like a family drama. Anyway, the acting was great, the kids (Josh Hutcheson and AnnaSophia Robb) were better than the adults. Their acting was so...effortless. The storyline started out very Disney-esque, but as it progressed it turned out not to be one, which is a good thing. It was a good movie and I'd give it an 8.5/10.

Has anyone read the book? I'd like to read it, since I saw the movie, but I don't know if it's any good. For all those of you who have read it I'd like to hear your opinions, whether to read the book or not.

In other news, I'm boiling here in Georgia, it's gotta be, like, 85.
