The Hobbit the book? Excellent. I love it and the tone. The Hobbit the THREE movies? I hated them. SO dark, gritty and too much CGI. :( |

| I often find that any movie based on a book is never quite as good as the book. Books tend to paint pictures in your mind and often have a lot more details that the movie. Movies tend to miss out on many details as they tend to try to shove all of the book into a two hour movie. | |

| Speaking of Stephen King, it reminded me of Christine. I dont remember much about the movie tbh, but the book was pretty good. I recommend it. | |

I prefer books as movies normally because you can to notice better the details. Vampire Diaries is the only series that I loved more than the books. |

Does anyone have a good recommendation on adventure/action books, that would be worth a good read. |

I can't forget to mention the Godfather, both the book and the movies were amazing. Plus the book is 100% more detailed and addicting. Mario did a excelent job. |

The YA movie The Perks of Being a Wallflower had, to my surprise, the same director as the author of the book. While some elements of the book were very difficult to put on film, I think he succeeded in large to stay true to the book. I, at least, actually prefer the movie over the book. |

Ready Player One is an awesome book, while the movie didn't live up to the book it still was a fun rant. I'm eagerly waiting on Ready Player Two coming out!! |

I thoroughly enjoy reading any Nicholas Sparks novel. My favourites are The Notebook, The Last Song and Safe Haven. SO many of his novels have been put to film, usually referred as Chick Flicks, they are very emotional and I usually cry every time. I just finished rereading The Best of Me two days ago and now I want to watch the movie version again. They are usually sad. |

Ready Player One. The movie stands up on its own, though a very simplified version of the film. But you come to expect that. The book was great though, and the concept is not to far off where we may end up one day. |

Not a movie per se, but the Phantom of the Opera was a fun read and an even better play/musical :) |

When it comes to books I like anything with an in depth adventure with tons of hardship. As for movies, I prefer lots of action. |

I think making movies from books can be shaky territory. It’s one of those things where sometimes it can be a marvel and other times, well, other times it can just totally suck. I feel it’s all dependant on one of the key words you see every time anyone talks about movies turned into books and that’s “Adapted” or any other variable. How the movie is adapted is the acid test. Forrest Gump for example, a classic movie but by no means a true representation of the actual character portrayed in the book. A success in its own right, but a true representation of the book? I don’t think it is entirely. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s nest was adapted as a movie to focus the spotlight on Jack Nicholson, as opposed to the narrator of the book, which was actually the chief and I think it’s Nicholson who turned that into a success. |

| I like movies and books. Some movies are good, but a book provides so much more detail than a book. The best movies that came from a book would have to be Shawshank redemption. The film is great. The acting was phenomenal. The whole film was excellent. The book was a novella Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank redemption. Stephen king is such a good writer. I feel his books are always slightly off center. It provides the readers to use their minds more into dark arenas | |

I'd like to recomend a book called "Abraham Lincoln - vampire hunter". The book is amazing, well written, it really feels its a true story based on history events. The movie sucks thou. I dont even know why they tried it.
Please, read it. You will love ir. |

The Divergent was a book I could NOT put down until I read it all the way through. It had everything you would want in a book. Action, humor, feels. The sense of urgency was unreal. |
