While I do not discourage my Teens from reading any book, I will recommend books that I think they will get more out of. There is an interesting aspect of empathy that comes from reading a book that may not be in your range of timeline. I read Wifey at the shocking age of 14. While I could not relate to it, It did educate me and helped me develop a sense of empathy for some adults I knew. I am completely against book lists based on age, although I do understand that reading a book in a certain time frame of your life may not be as impactful as readinging later on, but that is what great about books! You can always go back and reread :)

]]> Comment on Movie Review: The Great Gatsby by Book Club Babe http://bookclubbabe.net/2013/05/14/movie-review-the-great-gatsby/#comment-1464 Tue, 21 May 2013 22:31:36 +0000 http://bookclubbabe.net/?p=2246#comment-1464 Thanks! Of course, nothing can compare to the book, but I agree with your points. I was never too fond of Maguire anyway. But I’ll have to revisit the 1974 version sometime as well!

]]> Comment on Movie Review: The Great Gatsby by Curmudgeon-at-Large http://bookclubbabe.net/2013/05/14/movie-review-the-great-gatsby/#comment-1463 Tue, 21 May 2013 21:53:05 +0000 http://bookclubbabe.net/?p=2246#comment-1463 I was recently dragged, kicking and screaming, to this latest version of The Great Gatsby thinking that the 1974 version (with Robert Redford and Mia Farrow) was far superior. I then took the time to review the 1974 version again on Netflix and, boy, was I wrong.

Yes, the latest version is over the top glitzy but the acting and the actors are far better in the latest version. One exception is Toby Maguire; I preferred Sam Waterston. I also did not like the fabrication of Nick Carraway’s illness as the reason for his reliving the tale of Gatsby.

You are spot on, old sport, saying that this latest version is a clever adaptation. The book, as always, remains a literary masterpiece.
