Horror's Greatest Hits
Christine asked this question about Girl with a Pearl Earring:
I love this painting, but I have not read this book yet. Who this girl was still remains a puzzle. I am curious about this imaginary story. Hopefully, it will give me another perspective to appreciate this painting. There is also a movie based on this novel. Does anybody have read this book and also watched that movie? Is it good? Will it be better if I watch the movie first, and then read this book? Thank you!
Lieke I read the book first and was very sure then that I did not want to see the movie, because I really liked the book and did not want the movie to disap…moreI read the book first and was very sure then that I did not want to see the movie, because I really liked the book and did not want the movie to disappoint me. After a year or so I eventually did watch the movie and it did absolutely not disappoint me. It left some details, but helped me prepare for my literature speaking test as a refresher. However, I am glad I did watch it afterwards. The book isn't so difficult you should watch it first to understand it better. You can use your own fantasy to give the story an image.(less)
