I think a good screenwriter could fix the things we've all been griping about in these forums. Overall, there seems to be a lot about this book that was enjoyed by readers. If someone could just work out the kinks, I think it would be a pretty exciting film.DancingLady wrote: ↑14 Jun 2018, 18:01 As is, no way. On screen this book would come out as hyper-emotional which turns the drama and suspense into silliness. In order to adapt to film, this story would need to be cleaned up a lot. Angela needs to be able to express her reactions in more than one way to avoid redundancy and some of the dialogue needs to be adjusted to sound more natural. I’m cringing every time I see the word “baby”. It feels so out of place.

I agree. I think this book is good, but it had a lot of room for improvement. Adopting it into a film would give the opportunity to make those improvements. I think it needs a little more classBonnie Shelby wrote: ↑25 Jun 2018, 09:49 I can't believe I'm saying this, but in this case, I think a movie has the potential to be better than the book. It'd be interesting to see the different time periods, and if it was well done, there's a higher possibility of drawing in a large audience due to the various themes in the book.
