I agree! It does follow the book nicely. It’s a quick read, btw. I first read it in h.s. & just remember it really impressing me! ‘Was really excited to see they filmed it. ?
The man in the iron mask…or 20,000 leagues under the sea…or the wizard of Oz… Too many to choose from lol. Had to add Sherlock Holmes and the count of Monte Cristo and the three musketeers. Lol
Great post Rachel saving it for future reading list….my fav To Kill mockingbird – had most fantastic English teacher in high school that brought book to life for us n did whole series on Black history with us – another we read was Black Like Me – true story man that dyed his skin & wrote of his experience
So many great ones! I really love the diversity and I’ve added a few to my TBR list that I hadn’t read before. My personal fave is P&P by Austen but I think it has more to do with the fact that it was the first classic I ever read and Elizabeth Bennet is my spirit animal!
Black Beauty ♥️ I have so many copies of it, including a first edition. I love it. Not sure if it counts as a “classic” since I never see it anywhere on posts and stuff like this but it’s a classic to me. Watership Down is my next favorite.

It was always A Clockwork Orange, but it’s been years since ive read it and I’d like to read it again soon to see of my opinion is still the same
Have you watched the movie?
Yes, and I liked it. I think it captured the disturbing aspect quite well, lol
Was it close to the book? I loved the movie that’s why I’m asking
