Has anyone read any other books by Peter? I haven't... but I'm going to do a search right now on what else he's written. I really enjoyed his style throughout the book and look forward to reading more by him

Oooo you're tricky Roo! I didn't even THINK to look up other books by him! And since I loved Gilbert Grape so much, I am sure I would love other books by him! Yess...more things to do/read until my very own Gilbert arrives! *does a happy dance*

Okay I looked him up and heres what I found: Peter Hedges But I'm sure he's written more books as well. I can do a search for that later if you like

I just finished reading the Bourne Identity...ya know, the one that the Matt Damon movie is based off of? Very good...I definitely reccommend it!!!! Other than that...I just read Gilbert again. I know I am pathetic. Have you read any good ones?

I saw the Bourne Identidy on t.v.... it's not my kind of film ....but everyone is different that's for sure. As for me reading... nothing much lately, I'm heading off to the local library today though... I'll hunt down some good books... I'll let you know what I pick.... Until then.... I must read Gilbert the book again so I can be more up to date on my details... I read it three years ago...

My favourite part of the book is probably most everyones, it's when Becky and Gilbert go to the old school house.

And yours?

Same for me. I love how he goes to each of his old classrooms and writes something he remembers on the board. Such an awesome scene!

On the other hand, are there any scenes from the movie you wish had been in the book, or not in the movie at all?

I ordered it! To my own (and most likely, the libraries ) relief, I will now have my own copy. It was checked out last time I went to the library. How dare someone else try to read it! Just kidding
