I like to stay out of the book vs. movie debate. Book-lovers everywhere love to argue about how accurately film versions portray their beloved stories, but I’ve never thought it made sense to compare books and movies. To me, it’s like comparing a painting to a song. Books and films are two completely different mediums … Continue reading I Liked the Movie Better…
