Short blog post today. I don’t really have a lot to say personally about the topic, but I want to hear some of your thoughts.
From the page to the screen, movie and TV adaptations of books have become increasingly popular. But there are often many book fanatics that cannot stand the way it's done. And on the other hand, the movie sometimes spurs others to read more books and get the original story. There are a lot of opinions on these adaptations from both sides: those that love the original book and those that love the new version on the screen. I noticed a couple of weeks ago when I picked up a couple of new books from the thrift store, I ended up with 2books that showcased a sticker or line on the front boasting about the piece being adapted for the screen. So I'm just curious…what are your thoughts on movie and TV adaptations or books? Obviously some of the more popular include Harry Potter, Gone with the Wind, and just about any Nicholas Sparks book. But there are so many out there! James Patterson's Zoo had a couple seasons on TV, there are some failed ones like the attempts at Rick Riordan's demigod series. So what are some of your favorites? Another question I have for you is what donyou prefer? Would you rather see an adaptation very loosely based on a book so that when it doesn’t totally follow the book, you know ifs meant to be that way? Or do you prefer when they try to stick to the book as closely as possible? And lastly, the age old question (that I'd guess most of us would probably agree on): book or movie first? Which do you prefer? Personally, I'd rather read the book before seeing the adaptation unless I know they are loosely connected. But I know that there are a lot of people who don’t care about the order, or they prefer seeing the movie first.
