13 to Life by Shannon Delany
Yes, I am a little obsessed with this series and I really can't explain why. No key reason. I fell in absolute love with the cover when I saw it the first time and the story followed up for me!
TGIF is a weekly feature created and hosted by GReads! that re-caps the week’s posts and has different question each week.
This week's topic is: Book to Movie: Which book turn movie do you feel did the best adaptation? What about the worst?
MY ANSWER: OOh this is a tough one. It's hard to remember which movie I think did the best job. Truthfully I see a lot that just never meets my expectations, which is why I now must totally separate the movie from the book and see them as 2 different stories.
But to answer the question, the best adaptation would probably be The Princess Bride. It's been a few years since I read the book, but I do remember its movie was really good at living up to the book's potential.
I also thought the first Harry Potter movie did a good job. The first two I thought were done really well. Of course some things were missing though.
The worst would have to be Blood and Chocolate. I totally LOVED the book and was excited to see the movie. Only the movie was NOTHING like the book except for character names. There were a few teeny tiny details that were the same, but not much. Separately the movie was pretty good, but as a movie adaptation from a book it sucked.
