This week question:

Never judge a book by its film adaptation. Do you concur? (submitted by Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer)

My answer:

Yes! Usually the book is better! I read Pinocchio a few months ago and then watched the original Disney adaptation. The animation is so bad! Not the design, the actual story! And not only children’s books, even The Bone Collector, the book is much better than the movie, even if the movie has Denzel Washington in it.

This week question:

How long does it usually take you to finish a book? (submitted by Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer)

My answer:

It depends. If the book is short 1 day. If the book is a turn-pager and a bit long 2-3 days. If it is a classic like War and Peace, 6 month or Les Misérables, Less than 3 months or Anna Karenina, less than 2 months because I refrain myself to read only that book.

A timeless classic to be read over and over.

This is the story of Pinocchio, filled with harrowing yet inspiring adventures. Carved by a poor man named Geppetto, Pinocchio is a wooden puppet that comes to life. He soon leaves his maker and commences a journey of misadventures.

Pinocchio has a good heart, but he is disobedient and lazy and often has poor judgment. And when he lies, Pinocchio's nose grows longer! Follow this mischievous puppet as he goes to the "Field of Miracles", where he plants gold coins to try to make his wealth grow. Thrill as he is pursued by assassins. And marvel as he becomes the unwitting star of a circus show and lives a life of ease in the "Land of Boobies," where boys can play all day and never have to go to school. Of course, Pinocchio gets into trouble along the way.

From the villainous Cat and Fox, who try to steal his gold coins, to the gigantic Dogfish, a terrifying sea monster that swallows him, Pinocchio encounters menacing characters who often lead him to trouble. But Pinocchio also befriends a good Fairy who loves him and wants to help him escape his misfortunes. She even promises the puppet that if he learns to be good, to study, and to work hard, he will become a real boy. Can Pinocchio turn his life around? And will he ever see his "papa," Geppetto again?

About the book

The actual book name should be: The adventures of Pinocchio. A Puppet’s story.

Everyone has seen the movie right? (well I hadn’t seen it until this year) so everyone knows what it’s about. The adventures of a puppet who wants to become a child.
