My Favorite Book
I haven’t read a lot of books, but the few I have read I enjoyed. Everyone always says that the book is better than the movie. I can certainly say that is true for my favorite book. My favorite book is The Bridge to Terribetha. I read this book when I was in the 5th grade; so it’s been a few years back. It’s one of the few books I did read back when I was going to school. There was a movie about this story that was out at the time. After our class read the book, we then got to watch the movie about this book. I’m not sure if the teacher wanted us to realize that books are better than movies, but if that was her point about The Bridge to Terribetha; then she sure got her point across to me.
I know they have recently released a new movie about the Bridge to Terribetha and it seems like it might have came out in 2006 or 2007. It’s a movie more geared for the kids, but I was a kid when I read this great book. I would really like to see this new movie and see if it’s better than the movie we saw back in 5th grade. If you have children that like to read and need a good story for them to read, go find the Bridge to Terribetha and let them read it. It does have a sad ending, but it’s that powerful ending that makes it such a good story. I would say that it is similar to Charlotte’s Web or Old Yeller. I really like this book and I think it will always be my favorite book!
