For me, the book is much better, but the film version isn't too bad., 15 July 2010
Author: IggyStooge from United States

I read the book a while back, (a few months ago), and I thought it was pretty fantastic the way author Lois Duncan created such vivid characters for a high school story.

As for this TV-film version, it was interesting to see what the characters might look like, but overall to me I didn't enjoy as well as the book of course. But I did enjoy it at least seeing it on film and how some things are different than the book.

To this day, its nothing really special, but I only watched it once, and its really nothing to watch a second time. Because as for a TV-film, you don't expect much.
