Answer 2

There is both a book and a movie, that are amazing, called Message In a Bottle, its a great story, and I highly recommend it.

Answer 3

To Isadora N. The "awesomeness" of Twilight is not unique....I love Twilight as much as the next person but that sort of small minded thinking that Twilighters seen to have is really annoying. Twilight is a love story, love stories are bountiful and have been forever so therefor many have taken ideas from each other for their stories...even Stephenie Meyer did her books are based on classics like Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, Last Merchant of Venice, The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, and many MANY more. As for the original post The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins is really good I read it in 1 day! and also listen to the other people about The Host that one is good too. =D

Answer 4

Book, Walk Two Moons

Answer 5

The Harry Potter books and Movies. They're both great.

Answer 6
