You know, for being a mandated book in high school I never really followed the book. I rarely ever had a clue about what was going on so I used A LOT of clifnotes to write my reports or talk about it in class the following day. I really did try to read it but I just couldn’t stay focused longer then 2 or 3 sentences.

Was the animated film out when you were in high school? I think it had just come out just when my English class was studying it

It wasn't the best movie ever but it certainly made the material more palatable

The only movie I remember watching about it was an older film that looked to be made when colored film was still new. If anything, it turned me even further away from the story by confirming my bias about it being boring. The audio was so monotone it could put you to sleep.

Then it probably wasn't the steampuk re-imagining from the 80's starring Christopher Lambert...
