Re: Jasons Pot Luck #1

Both correct...............quiz finished folks!!

Re: Jasons Pot Luck #1

Question 10. jason was a play not a book.The book was the berlin stories, which the play was based on.So to my thinking i was correct.

Re: Jasons Pot Luck #1

You could argue that a play and a novel are both books but I'd tend to agree with Janet that when you asked for the book you do tend to think of the original novel rather than the play that was based on the novel which eventually led to the film.
