I've never read Old Yeller or Where the Red Fern Grows--I know better! I know that both will leave me in a puddle of tears. I avoid dog books like the plague . . . :-)
ReplyDeleteOh my, Where the Red Fern Grows is such a great book. Old Yeller is,too. And, I so agree about "The Da Vinci Code" adaptation.
ReplyDeleteI too have never read Old Yeller or Where The Red Fern Grows.I can not stand most books that are made into movies, it ends up loosing so much of the story and just ruins it for me,lol.
