Which movies made you want to read the book?

That makes us part of a select club of two, then. Not counting the friend who lent me the book, but hadn't seen the film.strawberrysab wrote: ↑16 May 2018, 06:49OMG I loved that book and the movie too (drawn by the cast, I admit it!).

The first movie that I saw that was a book adaptation was Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief after I watched the movie I begged my mom to get me a copy of the book, I finished it in a span of a week and I could say so for my 10-year-old self that I liked the book better than the movie.
Another movie that I watched that was actually adapted from a movie was Mortal Instruments as I finished the movie I wondered "did those things really happen in the book or what is exaggerated on the screen again?" and I agree with my 13-year-old self when I say, once again, that the book is so much better than the movie.
Nevertheless, I give both movies a 3/10 but the books a 10/10

There are so many movies which inspired me to read the book.
The most recent was The Picture Of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. I am still busy with it and so far I am thoroughly enjoying it. I love the concepts of the different characters and the overall theme behind the book. I wanted to read it because I felt the movie didn't fill my hunger for more.
Another recent was The Perks Of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. This one I couldn't put down and I think that both the book and the movie was awesome.
Then there was My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult. I really loved this book, especially since it was so different from thr movie. The reason why I wanted to read the book was simply because of how the movie played on my emotions and how much the story line touched me.
The reason why I even started reading books by Stephan King was because of a few of thr movies based on them for example: The Shining, 1408 and Pet Cemetry.
I fell in love with thr Harry Potter fims and I suppose I just wanted to go deeper into the plot and so I read those books too.
There are just so, so many.
