  2. Lord of the Rings had a lot of differences than the movie, but I think that they did a good job in the movies anyway. I liked the movie better.

  4. Twilight - I hated the book, I hated the movie. I thought the book was terribly written and the movie was terribly directed. Jacob was not as big in the movie as he was in the book. But still, both were terrible.

  5. When I read the 6th Harry Potter book, i liked the book so much better than when i saw the movie. They didnt put enough of the book into the movie. I felt they couldve made it so much better than it was. The movie had potential but it was kind of a failure in my opinion

  9. A book that I read before it was made into a film were the Twilight Sagas. I loved the books so much more than the movies because I felt like it was actually real. The movie was too acted out.

  10. i have never read a book that has been turned into a movie but i have read the huger games which is suppose to be made into a movie very soon and i believe that based on the book the movie wont be able to as amazing a job as the book because of all the things that go on in it and whats in my head about the book will be different then what is put on screen

  12. I read the Percy Jackson series in middle school, and when i heard they were making a movie of it I had my doubts because i knew they would make it approvable for children, rather than stay 100% true to the story. when i saw it I found that i was correct. the book was much better

  13. "It" by Stephen King. I definitly enjoyed the book more then the movie. The director of It the movie, changed the plot up too much and i really didnt appreciate it. I loved the book, but the movvie made the book a lot less scary.
