Flicka Lives Up to My Friend Flicka
East–Book: My Friend FLicka
Review: MUST READ CLASSIC
Snapshot: “If you haven’t read this story of a boy who can’t do anything right, then you’re probably in the minority. This is more the classic coming-of-age story than a “horse story” and has always been a MUST READ.”
ISBN: 0060845953
West–Film: Flicka
Review: EXCELLENT SEE
Snapshot: “Ken becomes Katy in this movie which does nearly everything just right.”
OVERALL: Book 10 out of 10, Film 9 out of 10

THE PRESTIGE: Film or Book, West or East
EAST–Book: The Prestige
Review: EXCELLENT READ
Snapshot: “A clever, gothic and original read focused on shame and obsession.”
SIBLING CONNECTION: The movie captures the spectacle and gothic flavor of this special and original book, but fails to bring alive the complex characters and themes of Priest’s novel. The book is memorable. The movie is stimulating but will likely be forgotten.
ISBN: 0312858868
WEST–Film: The Prestige
Review: GOOD SEE
Snapshot: “A trip into obsession that fails to possess audiences and doesn’t live up to the uniquely gothic novel that inpsired the journey.” Full Review.
OVERALL: Book 9 out of 10, Film 7 out of 10.
