Gloria RamirezWritten on April 25, 2018"Although the book has more detail and elaborates a lot more the movie of The Hobbit is enthralling and it will capture your attention like no other movie will. The J.R.R. Tolkien book is brought to life and the directors, producers and writers have skillfully chosen what to include in the movie and what to leave out. I think this is one of the most successful movie adaptations from a fantasy and science fiction book. "#2The War of the Worlds

"This is not a movie adaptation as suggested by the title, but is listed on Amazon as a "graphic novel." So it appears that most if not all the words are from the original "source material," the great first book of science fiction by H G Wells. Thus it may be a good choice for very young readers who are not yet ready for the real thing in all its greatness and perhaps slowness to the modern young mind used to constant stimulation."#3The Time Machine

"The Time Machine is a classic science fiction novel by H.G. Wells. In this version there is an additional chapter by author Nicholas Rudduck. I feel this really adds to the story. This book is great for young readers between 7 and 12 years old. It's a simple read and enjoyable tale of a time traveler."

Zack Snyder directs this raw and disenchanting film based on acclaimed Alan Moore's graphic novel. It tells us the story about a group of superheroes that are part of everyday life in an alternate 1985 America.MoviesCheck price
"I liked the book better (which I always do anyway) but that definitely doesn't make this movie bad by any definition of the word. I thought the movie was well directed and the acting was pretty good, but I just can't help myself from nit-picking all the differences I find throughout the book and in the movie. If you're like me and you constantly nit-pick all the differences between film and novel, I'd say just give the book a chance. If you haven't read the book, you'll probably enjoy the movie more."#11Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea

"I was shocked at how short of a read Minority Report is. It took me less than 3 hours from start to finish, and since I consider myself a slow reader, this book went by quickly. The good thing is that Minority Report manages to fit in heart pounding, breath taking non stop action in that short read."#13The NeverEnding Story
