Before there were movies, books were among the primary sources of entertainment for people. It also helped in exercising the reader's imagination as he/she immerses more in the story. That's why many still prefer reading traditional hardbound and paperback books up until now. But with the birth of cinema, the interest in books has gradually decreased as people become allured to the moving pictures on the big screen. Yet, filmmaking is an ever-changing industry. And one of the changes that it embraced was adopting novels and books into a screenplay. In a way, this changed the outlook of book lovers, as well as avid moviegoers. There have been a lot of movies based on books that it's becoming hard to identify which is the best.
