You chose good ones.

I think whats fun for books turning into movies, is if theres a book that you want to get into and dont have the time, and they made a movie of it, the movie can replace it and satisfy in that case.

What sucks about turning a book into a movie is the many details that are left out. it takes away our imagination and the characters aren't depicted in the same way our minds do and so we are given a negative feel to it from the start. Reason why I just don't want to read some books lol. Although, if I find out that one of my favorite shows is a series of books, Im on it! Its got some juicy details in the show already, imagine reading it in even more detailed description!
