Oh Stephen Colbert... He's swayed the hearts of many people. I'm guessing you don't watch him on TV?

Hey everybody who is part of this clan! Well, I've been reading Twilight for the past few days and I've made it up to... 310 pages! But, I am NOT a crazed obessed fan of it. But, my signature has the whole cast, though... hehe. If I was a crazed fan of the book and movie, then I would keep on talking about it. Plus, I like the book better than the movie because there's always more parts in the book.

Well, it's hard to fit every little thing from a book into a movie unless they make the movie many hours long. Many fans of a certain novel or series would prefer the book rather than the movie since the movie either cut out parts or completely changed parts of the story. I hope Hollywood wouldn't ruin My Sister's Keeper since a movie is being made of that book. My Sister's Keeper is actually a good book, and I suggest it to those who like reading about stories that revolve around healthcare ethics and family conflicts.

I think the only book-to-movie conversion I have ever been truly happy with was the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I think after seeing that it set a pretty high precedent for what a successful adaptation could be. However it is not always what happens. The good thing is that if a movie is successful, even if not accurate to the book, it will get people reading the original.

That's true. There are movie fans that converted into book fans. I watched the "Devil Wears Prada" and liked it, but thought it was a little dull. I'm currently reading the novel and I fell in love with it (but not that much obsessed with it).
