Bridge to Terabithia was a book I remember reading for school that came out as a movie a couple of years ago. I didn't remember much about the book but when I heard about the movie I had really wanted to see it. As far as I can tell, the movie pretty much lived up to my expectations, though it was interesting to see how some of the scenes were done since I don't remember reading them in the book (though it had been quite some time between when I read the book and when the movie came out).
I hope that schools that require this book for reading will encourage their students to also see the movie at some point. It's one thing to read words on a page and another to see the words actually come to life on the screen.
