Girls Write Out
Wednesday, April 20, 2011

Some books are born to be made into movies. Other best-selling books can make terrible movies. For example, I'm not a fan of Danielle Steel's books, but I do love the Lifetime movies made about them. I truly love the books made into Masterpiece Theatre mini-series since I'm such a classic fan.

But there are many books that I didn't care for, but I think they'll work as movies and often am there on opening day. "Eat, Pray, Love" was one of those books. Did not care for the writer's voice, nor did I understand her motives. But I think the screenplay writer did a much better job of making her motives make sense to me. I enjoyed the movie. Okay, not the Indian parts. Too OCD to want to go there for a vacation.

So "Water for Elephants" is coming out as a movie this weekend, and I'm very excited to see this as a movie. I didn't really care for the book (I know, I'm one of the few!) But I did really like the story and I think the movie looks perfectly cast, so I'm anxious to see it on screen.

So is there a book that you don't think worked as a movie? Vice versa?
