S3E2: Book to screen adaptations are a touchy subject for the booklover. In this episode, we talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly when it comes to the book to screen adaptations we’ve come across, including Pride and Prejudice, Twilight, and Eragon, to name a few. We also discuss popular adaptations that we liked where we didn’t read the book, those that might even be better than the book, and of course, those we could hardly bear to watch.
With more and more adaptations hitting the screens, we can only sit back and hope that our book-borne fantasies will be listened to, and met!
