CAN WE WATCH THE MOVIE?

i feel like no movie is better than the book, but i like to be able to see what it going on. not just read about it. I feel like we should watch the movie to get a visual understanding of what is going on. When i was in 8th grade we had this thing called "Battle Of The Books".... in order to participate in the competition we had to read at least 12 books and pass the test on them. i read 6. I watched the movie to half of them and managed to pass the tests. The point of the story is that the movie sometimes helps understand the book...... lesley was part of the team hehe
