First of all, let me apologize to my readers that have been waiting
for an update. I have been horrible with my weekly updates, mostly
because I have been busy and wearing myself out to the point of not
wanting to be conscious when I need to blog. Since I don't have any
pressing, immediate plans right now, I figured it was a good time to get
to work and update.
Now, about the title of this post.
Some of you may think that I am referring to the practice of amazing
books being made into horrible movies. Actually, It's quite the
opposite. It's amazing movies that compel me to read the books.
This
summer I had the opportunity to see The Host as well as Mortal
Instruments: City of Bones, both of which are books made into movies. I
have been told by several people that I needed to read one or both of
these books but I never really felt inclined to do so. Well, after
seeing The Host I wanted to read it REALLY bad. Halfway through reading
it, my friend and I saw City of Bones and once again I had another book I
needed to read.
I zipped through the rest of The Host
(which I absolutely loved, by the way) and I am now a little more than
halfway done with City of Bones (which I am also loving).
I
don't have a problem with books being made into movies. In fact, I
really enjoy watching movie adaptations of my favorite books. The
problem is watching a movie and then wanting to read the book when you
have so many other books to read. :)
Speaking of book vs. movie, have you ever come across a movie adaptation that was better than the book? Feel free to share!
Have a fabulous day! :P
