the throne is burning, Wait, you hadn’t read the Terabithia book long before the movie came along? I thought EVERYONE read that as a kid. It’s like the universal “first book to make you cry.”

No, I didn’t know it was a book until the movie came out, and you can bet your sweet ass I wasn’t going near that shit considering the movie put me in a Stage 5 “don’t leave your room, not even to eat” level of sadness

By “univeral” do you mean “American”

  13. v2kbug said: i’m Canadian, and I read that book on my free time, because I enjoyed reading books with award winning medallions on the front of it (they’re shiny!). Such a sad book…

  15. serarthurdayne said: no, not all americans read that book either. both me and my 11 and 14 year old cousins were SCARRED back when we first saw that movie
  16. martellarianne said: never read it either :\
  17. onedirectionstraighttohell said: no i think terabithia was considered one of the most well known books for kids (not just in america) that deals with death. and it’s also why i refused to watch the movie when it came out because i didn’t feel like cutting my heart out of my chest
  18. tutuscircushats said: I had to read it in primary and high school in Australia.
