Hello to you!
It looks like Where the Crawdads Sing
is in fact coming to the Perham Comet Theater this month! Yeah! Tuesday
night is bargain night at The Comet, with tickets being $5.00 per
person~ so with that in mind, we'd like to plan to attend the 7:00pm
show on Tuesday, August 16th. (Everyone will of course be responsible
for their own ticket and snack purchases). Since the viewing of this
movie comes a week after our August book club meeting, we thought we'd
take the first few minutes of our September 13th meeting to discuss our Crawdad
opinions, and I'll also start a separate post on the library's blog
directly following the movie, for anyone who would like an earlier
discussion. We encourage all of you to come to the show and share your
thoughts, on either avenue, afterwards!
Comment below with any questions~ looking forward to seeing you soon!

I thought the movie was pretty well done considering they needed to fit the story into just over 2 hours. A few things I wish I would have seen in the movie:
1-Her father's backstory of what he went through in the war, even though it's not huge, or an excuse for his abusive behavior
2-Her obsession during the book with mating rituals in nature. We don't see that much at all and the end makes much more sense if you understand that.
3-More Jumpin'. He and his wife are like Kya's family in the book, didn't get that feel in the movie.
4-The fact that Kya had been writing poetry under the pseudonym Amanda Hamilton!! I thought that was a big one that was omitted.
5-That Tate got arrested as a person of interest for Chase's murder after Kya was exonerated.
All things considered, it followed the book fairly well and was well cast with good performances.
