And I did not go to confession!!!!
Now about the books we prefer...
The Mists of Avalon marked me very much, because I had never imagined the story of king Arthur and his knights told through the eyes and feelings of women!!! It was a marvellous surpise!! I remember I began reading it because my eldest sister did read it first and she said wonders about it!!!

About the Mists of Avalon - I didn't read the book, I only have seen the movie. I don't think it was so good maybe the book is more interesting that the movie
And about the Da Vinci code - I began reading it, I almost finish it - WONDERFUL BOOK, this morning even I came a little bit late in the office because when I wake up, I've just can't hold myself and I read for a while tonight I must finish it otherwise I couldn't sleep

Wooow, Notre-Dame de Paris - I love this book but the movie I've watched soon was total disappointment (with Salma Hayek as Esmeralda). Somehow, although that the end is not happy, I like it. I mean, I like the idea that Quasimodo and Esmeralda are together in the death, and when they tried do separate his skeleton from hers, it turned in dust But in the movie the end was (almost) happy and Phoebus wasn't between the principal characters

Yes.. Quand les années auront passé On retrouvera sous terre Nos deux squelettes enlacés Pour dire à l'univers
Combien Quasimodo aimait Esmeralda la zingara Lui que Dieu avait fait si laid Pour l'aider à porter sa croix Pour l'aider à porter sa croix
(English version, for Alex => When the years have all come and gone. They'll find beneath the ground. Our two bodies joined as one. Showing how we were bound.
How much Quasimodo once loved. Esmeralda the gypsy girl. How he was marked by god above. Just to help him to bear his cross. Just to help him to bear his cross.
The movie with their end was terrible.. Although I like Salma very much.. she is so pretty.. and she was soo.. well she was very good for Esmeralda's role.. I mean her appearance.. And you know it seems that I love the books with "not happy end" even more than the books with happy end.. I suffer with the heros.. It seems that I live with them.. it this book already.. I like "deep" romans like these.

I SUPPOSE SO! I DIDN'T EVEN WATCH THE MOVIE. tHEY DIDN'T SHOW IT IN SPAIN But, I watched later on tv and I was deeply disappointed! They couldn't transfer to the movie the deep feelings and sensations of the book Of course there was a lot of fantasy!!! BUT... What I admire most in the book is the courage, strengh and cunning of all those women that tell the story through the four or five books of the Saga!!!And , at the time, I did wonder what the world would be like if some of the celtic beliefs and civilization had survived! And what allured me the most was that it all happens in a world where women rule and have total sex freedom!! Perhaps I enjoyed the book so much because I was brought up in a somewhat conservative athmosphere ! BUT SPAIN HAS CHANGED RADICALLY IN THESE LAST 10...15 years!

YES!!! A wonderful book! However, I hope that it will be a hit in the cinemas! But, I am a bit sceptic! I remember that some years ago the great hit " THE NAME OF THE ROSE" by Humberto Ecco was brought to the cinema too but, almost everybody was disappointed because the book was soooo much better!!

So...I am very curious about the DA VINCI CODE!!!
yeah, me too! I think that everybody has big expectations to this movie (as for The name of the Rose that you mentioned) so it's possible that we'll be disappointed :| I hope that the director has included in the movie some new details just to surprise the spectators, but without changing the more important moments in the book We'll see!
