FINISHED:

Rodgers, Mary. (1972). Freaky Friday. New York: HarperCollins.


[While I was pleased to see that there were lines of dialog in the movie that were lifted directly from the book, I was quite surprised at how different the two are. AND, I couldn't help but wonder what those young ones who were drawn to the book after seeing the most recent film adaptation and the paperback with Jamie Lee and Lindsay on the cover must have thought. If the '70s version was different, the '00s version was merely "inspired by". But, the dialog and humor in this book is infectious and inspiring to me as a (possible) future writer.]

STARTED:
Rodgers, Mary. (1974). A billion for Boris. New York: Harper & Row.

[Didn't have ANY idea until a few months back that Freaky Friday had a sequel...]
