- Latest Review: The Bird Ride by Wade W. Bergner
As for the first, when I originally watched the movie, I didn't realize it was a book until I found the book sitting at a used book store. Since I loved the movie, I knew I needed to read the book, and oh how that book destroyed the movie! The movie completely twisted and turned the story in some of the most horrible ways! Taking away the strength of female characters and completely white-washing the movie.
Water for Elephants, the book, is also one I picked up after watching the movie. It was very different, so different that the movie didn't bother me. They are almost more like different stories that have a lot of similarities, than a movie based on a book.
You never know if the movie is going to do a good job, and, from my experience, the movies are usually (though not always!) a let down, even if I see he movie before reading the book.

I saw the movie "The Hunger Games". I loved the movie and decided to read the book after. I really liked the movie but absolutely loved the book. I know you can fit but so much in a movie based on a book in trying to keep the length of the movie within a decent time frame, but I felt they left out some very much needed detail that the book presented. I loved the book so much that I read the next book in the series before watching the movie.

Also, Jim Jarmusch's amazing "Ghost Dog" led me to the "Hagakure." Bonus.
