I don't think you'd win, despite Burton being the perfect director for it. ^_^

I'd learn to be the world's best lawyer just to help win that case. And I hate law. It all sounds so difficult. But I would want to sue too.

I vote that it's too good to be a movie.

I vote that it's too good to be a movie. ... I agree. If it was made into a movie, it'd surely look just the same as the Narnias and Harry Potters out there. Do we need that... ?

The reason I want movies of his books...is the merchandise. ^_^ Crappy video games, action figures, keychains, all that stuff! I collect action figures and just bought a figure of V for my fiancee yesterday. ^_^

Poison didnt strike me as a must read for me orginally. After i read storm thief i went straight for the haunting and then The Braided Path. But Poison was a shock. Cuz before i even read it I plauged it "not my favorite Wooding Book" but dat changed. And every time I finish A Wooding book, my little brother asks me "Was it better than Storm Thief?" and I always say no, its just diffrent. there is no better or worse for Wooding Books. well except Catchman =(

Well Poison is a lot darker than those movies but yeah see you're point. Especially since they are making a movie of the Northen Lights.

I WANT TO READ CATCHMAN!!!!!!
However, ordering off of amazon is still forbidden to me because I live with my mother, and I can't find it in any bookstores...
Also, for me Storm Thief echoed too much of his previous work. It was a little redundant, I wished I had read it before the others jut so I wouldn't feel that way. Te world was still really cool and the relationships were fresh, but for some reason it just didn't stand out as much...
Still, it was amazing. All wooding-work is. ^_^

Well, everyone has their off-days... I think he dislikes catchman the most out of all his own work. I didn't like Storm Theif so much just because he was following the conventions of a dystopia a little too closely, but we'd just been studying dystopias so it might not have bothered me so much if I'd read it later.

While reading Poison: "Hey, Fairy Princess Woman (forgot her name XP), quit stealing Moa's lines." Though I guess 'I want to live' could be placed in a number of stories...

Heh, I guess then Moa would be stealing "Fairy Princess Woman's" (as you so eloquently called her ^_^) lines, since Poison was written first. ^_^

I think 'I want to live' is a reasonable sentiment for any young person who thinks they're going to die, myself. I've got a mad urge to re-read Poison now...

True, they had the same lines. XD
THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR POISON AND STORM THIEF!
But hey, it was much much more dramatic with Moa. Don´t get me wrong, in Poison everything was falling apart and dying and that was pretty dramatic. But in Storm Thief it had consequences. Like, deeper meaning to everything. Gawd, I cannot form one coherent sentence today... Only then did Vago realize what he was doing and got to his senses.
In Poison it didn´t leave such a deep impression as there were actions far more dramatic going on (as I said, with everything fading away and a certain maincharacter fighting with death...). I guess, I´m not coming through with what I want to say. |:u

Do you mean that, while they said the same thing, in Poison it was just something she said, whereas in Storm Thief it was THE thing she said? That the line was more of a focal point in Storm Thief? If so, I agree.
