not as good

I think that this movie did not live u[ to the book not because of he actors or the scenery it was because of the skiping around that it did, showing parts of the ending at the begining also the actors were not so life like please redo the movie as the book (in oder) or you will not get one cent out of me agin if this movie dose not go as well as it should.

What a Disappointment

I bought this video to show to my students as a culminating activity of their novel study. Even though other reviews warned that the video "skipped around", I thought I could ask my students to do a critical analysis of the differences between the video and the novel. However, the appallingly poor editing of this movie not only makes that impossible, but makes the story virtually unintelligible to anyone who hasn't read the novel first. For example, Mrs. Logan has lost her teaching position early in the movie, but inexplicably has it back mid-way through. Cassie's revenge on Lillian Jean is limited to watching her obsequiously offer to carry Lillian Jean's books. No explanation of why she's suddenly carrying the books, or of how her planned revenge works out. (I wanted to see Cassie beat her up!!)
