So many of us of lament the book-to-movie shortcomings. Not only do we go to the movies in the hopes of a good flick, part of us want see our favorite parts of the book on the big screen.
There aren't too many times, if any, that we say, "The movie was better than the book." So far, the only book I've heard that sentiment about is THE PRINCESS DIARIES. Have you felt that way about a book or movie?
There are a few movies I'm looking forward to seeing this summer. One of them is ENDER'S GAME. I loved the book. I'm anxious to see how it translates to the screen. My reading imagination wasn't quite as big as what I'm seeing the trailer. Have you read this book? What did you think of it?

I just read The Great Gatsby and then saw the movie. I like the movie quite a bit more. It's one of the few movies I like more than the book.
That's interesting, Michelle! My teens went to that movie and loved it.
I liked the fifth Harry Potter movie better than the book. I really didn't like the fifth book. I can't think of any other cases where I liked the movie better.
I had a hard time with the fifth HP too, Scott! I did like the movie. The movie made the story a little lighthearted.
