I hate it when people say read the book...

.. but in this instance I think it is good to read the book.

Although Angela's Ashes is a good film I felt it was just as good in my head when I read it with less stuff missed out.

Trouble is I am starting to think this may be the case with lots of books as I don't tend to read things, just watch the films. I have therefore decided from this point on that I will never ever read a book that has been (or has potential to be) made into a film. I'm sure this is a very educated decision.
