Top Ten Tuesday- Books to Films that I love!
Top Ten Tuesday Page to Screen Adaptations
Welcome back! Today I will do the weekly meme called Top Ten Tuesdays. This meme is hosted by Jana at thatartsyreadergirl. Our topic for this week is a freebie dealing with Page to Screen Adaptations. I decided to to 10 books they have adapted which that I loved.
1- To All the Boy’s I’ve Loved Before
Topping the list this week is this rom com I just adored. I read the first book, and I thought the movie was a perfect adaption. Sure, it missed some key topics but overall it pleased me. I can't wait for the second one!
2- The Hunger Games series
I read The Huger Games and it was my introduction to YA Dystopian. These films were fantastic, and I felt it pleased any fan if you have read the books or not. Were they perfect? Not really as key elements were missing, but the premise was there.
3- Pride and Prejudice (2005)
This is a perfect adaptation of the Jane Austen classic. I love this and the period drama style. I watched this when I was in my 20s and fell in love.
4- The Perks of Being A Wallflower
I read this book the summer of 8th grade going into high school. I watched the film, and I loved it so much. I felt it hit the key elements and encouraged people to read the book if they didn't already.
5- Little Women ( 1994)
I watched this when I was my 20s as well. I don't know why I took so long to watch this movie but wow do I love it. I loved the movie because it stayed close to the original source material. Winona Ryder as Jo I think has the perfect amount of sass and sweetness.
6- Love Simon
Oh wow do I love this movie. I finished the novel about a week before I saw the movie. This movie had some changes and I think that they improved the plot for the movie. They needed the edits as the movie went in a new direction.
7- The Fault in Our Stars
Can we all appreciate this adaptation? I read this book and I was sobbing and almost threw the book across the room when I finished. This is a great adaptation because it hits all the points in the book.
8- The Gurnsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
Another Netflix adaptation! I had read this book after watching the film and I want to re-watch it now that I have finished the book.The second viewing I might have finished it or been in the middle of the novel. I loved it even though there were edits because of the direction the movie took.
9- Crazy Rich Asians
I was so into this film! The first time I saw it I had not read the book. By the time I watched it a second time I was in the middle of the book, or had maybe already finished this book. This is how you adapt a book to a film in my opinion. I know that they made some changes, and that Charlie Wu should have been used more, but I am so here for Crazy Rich Asians both the book and the movie.
10- Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
I think I have said on the blog here that I was not into Harry Potter as kid. I've seen all the films and love them all. I only put the first on there as it is the only book I've read.

Do you think you'll read the rest of the Harry Potter books sometime? I found that the adaptations got better and better the further you went into the films.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT.
Maybe? I was more captured by Twilight than I was by Harry Potter.
DeleteThe Hunger Games movies weren't flawless, but they are definitely in the "good adaptations" category.
ReplyDeleteI agree!
DeleteI watched To All the Boys I've Loved Before and thought it was so cute! I haven't read the book, though, so I guess I can't quite compare it, haha. The 2005 Pride and Prejudice is fantastic, and Crazy Rich Asians was also so good! The visuals were stunning.
ReplyDeleteI could not agree more about Crazy Rich Asians. P&P will always be one of my faves. To All The Boys I've Loved Before was so cute and so much fun.
DeleteI like the 2005 P&P too. And To All Boys was a great adaptation!
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking of checking Guernsey Literary out on netflix.
If you do I would love to talk about it!
DeleteI think I actually preferred the Crazy Rich Asians movie to the book - just a little bit anyway! :)
