Everything Is Illuminated

[layne67]

I've got the book and now I've got the dvd. What I don't have is the time :-(

To anyone who have both read the book and seen the movie, which one should I do first? I usually prefer reading the book first but from what I understand the movie doesn't follow the book much. Like The Da Vinci Code. Apparrently the movie is not so enjoyable if you've already read the book.

I read the book before seeing the movie because I usually like to do things that way, but in this case I don't think seeing the movie first would get in the way of your enjoying the book. There is a TON of stuff in the book that's left out of the movie, and some really important things are changed, so watching the movie first wouldn't really take away the surprise of the other. IN other words, go with whatever order you like!

I usually prefer reading the book first too but well, this is Elijah, you know. The screencaps from that movie are all over LJ you know and I am dying to find out what that sunflower is all about :-)
