BOOK

We found some of the most iconic book to movie adaptations and reviewed them by our personal opinions

8/10

The acting in this film is great, especially considering how young the actors were when filming. Our one criticism that brought the rating down was that the book introduced us to the world of magic so wonderfully and while the movie got the job done, it had some unneeded material.

9.5/10

A film that remains faithful to the book and only keeps the necessary parts of character and story. Have no concern for the child acting, as the child actors deliver fantastic performances along with Gregory Peck. This film is put together very well and needs no large scale to leave a lasting impression on you.

10/10

In this interpretation, there is no unnecessary time wasted. Practically every scene in this franchise has merit. This series may be a touch lengthy and a bit violent for those under fourteen, but all things considered, a fantastic interpretation that improves on almost everything of the books.

8/10

This movie is a staple for teen romance nowadays. Many were blown away by the romance, humor, and angst involved in the film. The acting is impressive, but some acting from Noah Centineo was questionable. Overall a cheesy movie, but great.

8.5/10

A more recent fantasy than The Lord of the Rings, but arguably more well known around the world. The pacing is good and it is fun to read, especially for the younger generation who grew up with this series. The only issue is that we couldn’t help but compare it to other fantasy classics which brought its score slightly down.

To Kill a Mockingbird is an absolute classic! It’s a character study of society in the 30’s and devotes all of it’s time to developing its characters and story. It is an emotional rollercoaster that delivers intensity, feelings of adolescence, and rarely loses momentum in its storytelling.

An epic tale of jewelry crossing the world… just to be burned. All jokes aside, this trilogy is one of the most descriptive series we have ever read. This is both a blessing and a curse, but with so much storytelling comes incredible world building and a compelling plot. that is meant to be read over a few months.

People flocked to this book for the romance, humor, and amazing characters but less so for the plot. The way it’s written is relatable to teens, particularly teen girls. The character relationships are more developed than in the movie and of course there are scenes that add to the plot that we cut out of the movie adaptation. In the end it’s nothing deep but an enjoyable read for people into cliche teen romances.
