Favorite Book to Movie Adaptations

There are far too many books I love that have been adapted into amazing movies.

For avid readers, its a complex emotional moment when we hear a book we cherish is becoming a movie. We're filled with excitement, anticipation and also worry. Sometimes the words on the page just don't transfer to the big screen and the power and presence of the book can be lost. Over the years I've found my list of book to movie adaptions growing. I can't mention them all but I certainly will list a few. 

Girl, Interuppted 

Pride and Prejudice 

Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit

Harry Potter
 
The Help

In Her Shoes

Peter Pan 

Twilight Saga - Eclipse 

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland 

The Great Gatsby 

The Fault In Our Stars 



A few others I must also mention include Breakfast At Tiffany's, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Romeo and Juliet (the Leonardo DiCaprio version), and A Walk To Remember. Like I said, my list would be way too long if I listed every adaptation I love. While some key features might be missing from these movies, I was still very impressed with how it brought to life the words I fell in love with. The characters were just as I had imagined them to be and that is always the most exciting part. What are some of your favorite adaptations? Share in the comment section below! 

Happy Reading (And, Watching!),
