... the movie is NEVER as good as the book!
A few weeks ago, I restlessly rented the movie "The Last Song". I figured even though I had already purchased the book, the movie couldn't be that different. While I found the movie to be decent, I was talked into reading the book by a friend who told me they were very different.
I just finished the book, and .... I LOVED the book far more than the movie and found it unfortunate that I kept picturing the character Ronnie as Miley Cyrus. I don't care for Miley Cyrus so that kind of messed up my own images of the character.
In short, I highly recommend the book and I vow to NEVER watch a movie before reading the book first!

ReplyDeleteI thought that exact same thing - but then again I read the book first - it was an OK movie but nothing next to the book. I thought the exact same thing about eat pray love.
ReplyDeleteI had such high hopes for the movie-book adaptation. Because he actually wrote the screenplay first and then the book- so, to me they should have been much more alike!
ReplyDeleteI have all of Nicholas Spark's books and when I first saw Dear John, I was disappointed. The book was so much better than the movie so I decided from that day I would not see any movie that was made based on his books because his books are 10x better.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know that I didn't make a bad decision on not seeing The Last Song!!! The book is amazing though isn't it? I cried!!!
Nicholas Sparks wrote the movie before he wrote the book!
ReplyDelete(I was disappointed with Dear John... that movie stunk)
