LJ Idol Presents:

There haven't been too many instances of me reading the book and watching the movie or tv adaptation. I will say that I enjoyed True Blood and the Sookie Stackhouse books up to a point, and then in both, I got sick of it and kind of hated it at the end, in different ways, because they went different directions. But I did stick it out for both the books and the tv series.

I really loved the Harry Potter books and mostly liked the movies.

I liked the Hunger Games books a lot, and feel like the movies fall short in many ways.

The only time I liked the movie better than the book was with Stephen King's The Shining. That is a great movie, and I think there were things done with the story that were actually better than the book. But the book was pretty great, too.
