This blog is a little different to others, its neither beauty nor lifestyle focused but indeed is something that is very much a controversial topic of conversation.
For as long as I can remember I have always considered books to be way better than their film adaptations and had yet to be corrected. What I always preferred was that I could read a book and imagine that character how I wanted them to be not what the casting director wanted them to look like. On some occasions they got it very right but in others completely wrong... I'm still hating the casting of the entire Twilight trilogy. But nonetheless the books are always more immersive and exciting to me, the thought of holding a copy of a good book gets me very excited!
On a completely unrelated note... thoughts on fifty shades if you've seen it? I was disappointed, and not because I think the book has literary credential, but behind all the kinky sex theres a pretty decent story line going on there! And, not to mention, whose not in love with Christian Grey? As for the film, I had low expectations (I was pretty much there for Jamie Dornan) but they jiggled too much of the chronology and that bugged me a little. But anyway... onwards...
I had read Cecelia Ahern's originally titled 'Where Rainbows End' or you may of seen it as 'Love Rosie'. I love Ahern as a writer, I own a lot of her books and PS I Love You will forever be a favourite! Very briefly, its about two childhood friends whose lives get very complicated and uncertain as they try to stay in touch... I hope I didn't give anything away! I didn't really rate the book. The book has a lot of twists and turns and the storyline is very complicated and you wouldn't expect half of it to happen when it does! Its all in the format of emails and is a little difficult to get in to but I still managed to read it in three days! Then I found out that they had made a movie and finally got round to watching it today! First up, I loved the casting, it got better than Sam Claflin as Alex, but Tasmin Egerton as Sally was incredible and I loved seeing her in this film! They have very much simplified the story line to be a lot easier to follow and they skipped so much of the boring bits to make it less tedious! I would recommend the film this time and absolutely loved it, such a great story line too!
Let me know if there are any books/films that you have enjoyed one over the other, I would love to see what you guys think!
Love and hugs
