I find that I have to treat the two as entirely different entities before I can properly appreciate the movie. However there is one book and movie pair that I was completely satisfied with the accommodation.

For example, I didn't realize that "Silver Linings Playbook" was a book until after I saw the movie, but after reading it, I realized that I loved the movie even more for improving on the book with such stellar performances and good Emma Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06082069007101966365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3339328496729860196.post-90257224541434051342013-10-12T10:24:20.430-06:002013-10-12T10:24:20.430-06:00I never thought about it that way Anna, that the m...I never thought about it that way Anna, that the movie can be better than the book.
