Q: What is one book that you would be nervous to see a movie adaption of because you think the movie could never live up to the book?
Almost every book that is made into a movie makes me nervous. I know that the movie in my head normally will be better than the movie on the screen. Perfect example: Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief. BIG GIANT LET DOWN! Normally if I plan to read a book, I don't see the movie until after I have finished the book.
Oh and don't forget to vote for me at the Goodreads Independant Book Blogger Awards!
Happy Reading!

Yeah, the majority of adaptations are not good.

I'm normally okay with book to movie adaption. Science Fiction books make me nervous because they can go so wrong so fast!

I agree! I think that Hollywood always mess up the casting, and the romance and the environment is always so hard to properly duplicate.

Hopping through. Pretty much every book to movie adaptation makes me nervous too. They never do it right.

I agree it's always difficult because we're sure to not have the same feelings. so difficult to make a great adaptation.

I haven't read the book, but I have, shame on me, already seen the movie and thought it sucked. :/
