From the Page to the Screen

More and more books are being made into movies or TV shows these days, and while I make it a point to see as many of them as I can, I can’t say that I’ve ever seen a book reproduced on screen and thought it surpassed its original. Most of the time I don’t feel disappointed if the screen version wasn’t better; I generally don’t expect it to be. And some of the time I don’t even get offended when the two versions differ greatly. But there’s one story I can’t bring myself to watch on the screen; the one that changed my life.
