I was aware of it, as it was released at a time when I moved from reading, primarily, books written by the likes of Stephen King to moving, primarily, to books with a queer tone. I was told about the book by lots of friends who read it, but nobody told me there was a queer angle, which, I suppose sadly, would have made all the difference. <br /><br />I do want to read the book. Usually, when you see a film, even if you enjoy it, reading the book doesn't seem appealing because, well, what's the point? But it's easy to see with Perks that there is a lot more character development that would have gone on in a book. And the movie is just about the only one from last year that was solely about the development of characters. (The boy who played the gay kid, Ezra something, was expected to get an Oscar nomination and the film was expected to get a script nomination, but it got neither, infuriating the people who have read the book over and over since it was released.)TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04194507632084940540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828865939332981272.post-86834384667363411192013-06-27T15:58:11.110-04:002013-06-27T15:58:11.110-04:00Did you read the book?

I don't usually do both any more, because I'm old, and ain't nobody got time fo' dat, but I read the book first and really, really liked it, then I liked the movie as an entirely different experience (and was amazed that the author wrote the script, directed it, and cut so much out (see the outtakes, esp. the one of the kid reading his poem).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16428491630726035905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828865939332981272.post-90274711079461895492013-06-27T15:33:26.397-04:002013-06-27T15:33:26.397-04:00Perks was my favorite movie from last year.
