Film to book adaptations. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 27/05/2010 11:48:53 AM
We know there is often a lot of controversy over book to film adaptations, but we don't often talk about things the other way round. I've read one decent one (the book version of The Piano is better than the film, imo) but don't know of any others.

Can this "genre" ever succeed?

Have you read good examples?

I kind of feel like a film to book adaption is not....really a book? Spriteling - 27/05/2010 09:16:25 PM 1254 Views
I see your point, and to a large extent I agree, but... Cockatiel of Doom - 01/06/2010 12:35:53 AM 862 Views

Exactly. I loved the film so much I freaked out when I saw the book in a Motel giftstore. Gher - 29/05/2010 03:22:45 AM 940 Views

I think Ladyhawke by Joan D. Vinge is one. Haven't read it yet. *NM* Aeryn - 27/05/2010 11:18:43 PM 431 Views

In answer to your question, the genre will never succeed. Tom - 30/05/2010 02:41:43 PM 934 Views
