Date: December 5th, 2023 10:47 AM Author: Overrated Learning Disabled Hospital Double Fault The Dead Zone never clicked with me as a book but I liked the Cronenberg movie a lot
Maybe American Psycho (the book is better, funnier, and more brutal, strictly speaking, but it IS a slog and even if that's sort of the point it just gets draining after a while)
The Invisible Man (the horror story) as a book is more of an anti-vivisectionist tract than anything else; the 1933 movie has a ton of personality and is still effective |

tbf the book was basically a screenplay |
|
Date: December 5th, 2023 10:58 AM Author: Galvanic Twinkling Uncleanness Messiness Stephen King is great for this: Shawshank, Stand by Me, The Mist, The Shining
Fight Club is way better
There are a bunch where you just know that the movie is better but I never read the book (e.g. Jaws, Psycho, Godfather, Silence of the Lambs)

|
Date: December 5th, 2023 11:41 AM Author: Beady-eyed Gaming Laptop Mental Disorder they're obviously fun in a trashy/silly sort of way. It's a ton of Fleming's personal projection and wishing. If anything, what he finds exotic and exciting is an interesting window on just how bad England's post-WWII depression really was (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5455607&forum_id=2#47135630) |
|
Date: December 5th, 2023 11:52 AM Author: magical gas station national security agency I read every Fleming book. there is some truth to your poast. I think its a rare case where the novels and the movies are great but for totally different reasons.
there was only a couple true adaptations though (mostly early connery). the rest just took the novel names. |

|
Date: December 5th, 2023 11:55 AM Author: magical gas station national security agency I would recommend listening to the audiobook narrated by Pablo Shrieber. He does a fantastic job of providing a window into the deranged character.
Admittedly though, I'm not a fan of bales portrayal so I put the book over the movie on this one. |
