Today's focus is:
Have you read any novels where you are yet to see the film/TV adaptation?
or
Have you seen any films where you are keen to read the original novel?
I have read all of the Twilight novels and seen the films too, but I have yet to see the film for The Host.

The idea for the story was great but as I read it I kept drawing parallels between it and the vampire novels. There were some common elements, like the two guys one girl scenario. (OK, I know technically they were two girls but the similarities are still there).
I haven't had the opportunity yet to see the film but I'm very keen to see how they portray the conversations she has with 'herself' in her mind.

I enjoyed the second half of the book much more than the first half, and I wonder if the film would be the same.
Have you seen The Host? Did you think it closely followed the book?

I really enjoyed the Host, even though parts of it I just had to disapprove of. I haven't seen the movie either, but look forward to it. I'm not sure it can be as good as the book though.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of Meyer's books. Not that I don't want to, but if you are my "friend", your book is higher on my to-read list and I have a lot of writer friends.
ReplyDeleteI read the book ages ago (like the Twilight book - very long!) and saw the movie. I think I preferred the movie (and I never say that).
