Books Into Movies

I know that we all have seen movies that originated from books and sometimes they are good, sometimes not so much. Oprah.com has created a list of 4 books that you need to read before you see the movie...here they are:

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows

Snow Flower and the Secret Fan

The Help

One Day

The worst book to movie creation I have experienced was The Count of Monte Cristo. I was so sad because I loved that book so much and the movie did it zero justice. So much of the story line was left out and the characters were poorly represented by the actors they choose to play them.

Is there a book to movie creation that you have seen that you thought was poorly translated? What about one that you thought was done very well? Share...

Happy Reading!
