A classy film with a wide array of fine English actors on show. A compelling story set during the days of the cold war. However the very slow pace will put a lot of people off and it's running time is a fair bit longer than needed. One you really need to pay close attention to, and work out the code words and what they refer to. It just didn't have any real action for me, which let it down. A fine performance from talented cast nevertheless.

This is probably one of the best books that I have ever read. I return to it, time and time again. The typical utopian society gone wrong theme requires you to really analyze your life and ponder on if the world could ever get to that point. Following Jonas through his life altering journey, with an ending that leaves one wondering is part of what makes this book a great book to be taught in schools. I first found out about this book through one of my high school English courses.

Find this one in Amazon. It's in German with English subtitles but was a pretty interesting sci-fi thriller. The acting was decent enough and the effects weren't too bad. The story unfolds a bit slow but it's interesting enough if you pay attention. It's definitely an interesting idea. Involves the concept of space travel to other passengers because of what we have done to earth and he technology is used by the "government" to fool us into believing there's a utopia like planet that we've habitated. Worth a watch if you're bored.

I read this book in preparation for teaching my 7th graders and was extremely pleased. I remember reading parts of the original while at uni and feeling absolutely bored as I had to translate the Middle English before making any sense of it. McCaughrean's adaptation, while I'm not sure how accurate, is extremely enjoyable. I especially like the stories told by the Knight and the Wife of Bath. I recommend this text to anyone who has ever wanted to read the classic book but just doesn't have the time and patience to suffer through translation.

Finally finished! Not a horrible book as a collection of semi continuous folklore tales go, if you can get through the old English and realizing words don't have the same meaning as they do today. How I think of worship is not what they meant at all, at all. And there are No Quotations to let you know who is saying what. Favorite phrase is "wonderfully wroth." Just don't forget: an can mean and, but,or if. But can mean and. And if can mean anything.
