The movie was so visually stunning! And it didn't stray so far from the original story to disappoint fans.
I thought it was incredibly close to the book for a film adaption!
I still wish it hadn't of looked so futuristic and that Jonas was a 12 like he was in the book.
I loved the cnematography in this movie, I felt it differentiated it self so nicely. It made it more enjoyable for me because I did not feel let down by a movie that ried to be the same.t
What are the names of all the books you wrote?
Hi Lois Lowry, I'm a big fan of your book number the stars, and I think you're the most phenomenal writer, and I like to write my own stories too, and I wanted to ask you a question, What encourages you the most to write your stories?
I thought it was a terrible movie. It had an entirely different feel from the book. I did not enjoy it.
As someone who saw the movie first and only read the book afterwards, I'd like to say they did a poor job of making it understandable for those unfamiliar with the story. It didn't make sense why memories and feelings would go to all after he crossed the line.
Agreed. As all films in time that are constructed from an amazing book, it finds its downfalls. That's why it is so pertinent to READ!!! :) your imagination is the best film ever!!!
I think the movie is amazing. They did a great adaptation. :)
How do you feel about your books being made into movies? Personally, I've read most of your books and was mad to see that they changed a lot
I feel you really didn't answer the question here. she asked "what led to the decision to convert the book to a movie," not "what do you think of the movie"
