My recent unprecedented amount of disappointment in the movie adaptation of Veronica Roth's Insurgent led me to reminisce on the amazing books that have been behind some truly awful movies. If you saw and hated these movies why don't you give the book a try, you can find them all in the PCPL catalog. I promise they are much better!
When one of my all time favorite novels gets made into a movie I show up for the opening show. This time I wish I didn't. Changing who killed who and the ending makes me wonder how they will make the third movie.

Movie did not have enough action or sense of adventure to really keep anyone captivated. The book on the other hand will keep you reading.

The movie adaptation really lacks the sarcastic jabs at society's rules which the book was written for. Instead you get a weird tale that isn't serious but isn't funny either.

In bringing this children's book to the big screen we turned a beloved character into a real creeper. The cat in the Hat has been compared to Donnie Darko.

I made the mistake of seeing the movie before reading the book and it almost stopped me altogether because the movie was that bad. With a love triangle that does not make sense and a plot line that is not fully explained the movie is a bad representation of the very popular series.

Compacting this complicated story into a movie that is less than two hours made the plot line impossible to follow. You also miss out on most of the character development.

This book was incredibly intriguing with a character who can make stories come to life. The movie unfortunately doesn't explain the story well and is too long to keep the attention of most.

Did you see the 1995 film and never wanted to read the book after that? This film strayed so far from the book it should not have been made.

Cheesy lines, a butchered plot, and very shallow characters made up this movie. But the book written when Paolini was only 17 is full of adventure and amazing characters that you grow to know and love.
