Not sure where I would start at this point. <br /><br />I am generally not a fan of book to movie adaptations. They are rarely done well I think it's because, as you mentioned, the movies often don't ring true to the characters as developed in the book. With the exception of the Harry Potter books and movies, I haven't seen an adaptation that I thought did the book justice. <br /><br />My teaser this week is from Season of Salt & Honey by Hannah Tunnicliffe: http://www.foofynotfoofy.com/foofynotfoofy/2015/7/28/teaser-tuesday-season-of-salt-honey-by-hannah-tunnicliffHeatherAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00218596169626021364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132858900548820855.post-46168482576351272762015-07-28T21:30:36.179+02:002015-07-28T21:30:36.179+02:00I have read a couple of John Green's books and...I have read a couple of John Green's books and really enjoyed them. I haven't yet tried this one, but I want to. I'm not a huge YA contemporary fan, but I do like Green's writing style.

Some things from books will not adapt to movies or TV shows and need to twisted and torques to fit in. I have not problem with that, EXCEPT I still want an entertaining movie or TV show. I don't expect them to be the same.<br /><br />sherry @ fundinmental <a href="http://www.fundinmental.com/teaser-tuesday-45-free-middle-grade-fantasy-the-fishermans-son-by-marilyn-peake/" rel="nofollow"> My TT</a>sherry fundinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12197438610372707924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2132858900548820855.post-7899445437818117592015-07-28T14:19:05.390+02:002015-07-28T14:19:05.390+02:00I like both of these.

However, I try to keep an open mind when watching these films because they always stray from the book. <br /><br /><a href="http://vonniesreadingcorner.blogspot.com/2015/07/teaser-tuesdays-112.html" rel="nofollow">My TT</a>Vonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03987861951233408815noreply@blogger.com
