Best Book and Film of 2011?
 

Sorry to bring up the past that is the year of 2011 when we have just begun a new year! What was the best book you read and the best film you saw last year?

My favourite book was Fight Club - Chuck Palahniuk. I always thought it was simply about fighting but my brother convinced me to read it. I enjoyed the style of writing right from the start and was completely engrossed in the book.

I think my favourite film was The Help. Again, initially I wasn't interested in seeing it but my brother wanted to see it. It was very moving and I went on to read the book which was also caprivating.

My favourite film was probably "Into the Wild".. actually that wasnt out in 2011 but still I saw it for the first time so I guess it counts :P

Favourite book is a tough one... Probably "A Visit From The Goon Squad" because of the different style used and how it interlinks different peoples lives.

This is one of my fave books, because there are SO many layers to it. How the fighting is representative of a youth torn from a mother, how the destruction mimics a scream. Is fabulous. Have you seen the film? It's one of the few book-to-film creations I have ever felt to be 100% right. I can watch then read or read then watch and things are just perfect.

I watched the film soon after I read the book. I thought it was ok but I generally don't find films very interesting. It was made very well though.

My favourite film of 2011 was by far Green Lantern! I love Ryan Reynolds and he's my favourite actor and the Green Lantern is my favourite DC hero. =)

As for books I don't think I bought any that came out in 2011 but for Christmas 2010 I recieved Mini Shopaholic and I LOVE the Shopaholic series so I finished the series off (so far) with that book last year so I really enjoyed it. =)

I can't remember anything i've watched :s
