"*sigh* Such an amazing book in such an amazing series. The movie was a complete failure in just about every way. "

The Neverending Story
by
"I loved the movie as a kid. Not sure how it would hold up after all these years and am a little nervous of finding out. I read a book a few years back and really loved it. As good as the movie is, the book is deservedly a classic."

A Wrinkle in Time (Time Quintet, #1)
by
"If you ever happen to find yourself in a room where the movie for A Wrinkle in Time is playing run immediately out of the room. Screaming optional. You'll thank me later."

A Wizard of Earthsea (Earthsea Cycle, #1)
by
"The book is a timeless classic. The movie is so incredibly horrible that I have tried to expunge the very knowledge of its existence from my mind. Unsuccessfully, clearly. *shudder*"

Trainspotting
by
"I love the movie. The movie is really good. The book is better once you manage to figure out the accent. I saw the movie first and was expecting it to be better, but the book ads so much to all the characters that it is really amazing."
