""To Kill A Mockingbird" fits this category to a "T". This is without a doubt one of the best American novels adapted into a movie. Not only is the book a terrific read, but the movie did the book full justice, and was a great film all by itself, even without the prior popularity of the book. "

""My Sister's Keeper" is a very successful piece of writing which is a bestseller and also happens to be adapted into a movie of the same name but success is not a good indicator of quality. The novel is written in a way that everything feels forced. Like it is trying very hard to be as tear-jerking as possible but it happens so artificially and is so detached from the plot that reading it feels like a chore most of the time.

"The first book was amazing, as we all (should) know. This is pretty great, but so... different. Which isn't a bad thing. Clever (see what I did there? No? Oh, just read it, already...) and brilliant. The book made my heart happier than the graphic novel does, but that's whatever. This is something special and I dig it."#8The Godfather

"I have to say something re: the movie vs the book** wow..they really cut the movie in half to accommodate the story! In HS ‘The Grapes of Wrath’ next to ‘Mice & Men’ were required reading. I’m surprised I wasn’t crying on a daily basis! I haven’t read the novel since 1978, but always watched the movie..besides a couple of characters that didn’t match the book theres the subject but no comparison...so if anyone has to do any required reading and ‘Grapes of Wrath’ is one..don’t watch the movie first One more thing Dylan Baker is now my favorite narrator! (I listened as well, thank God?) What a performance..he sounded like ‘Henry Fonda to the tee! Excellent narration!"#14Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe
