Fiction to Film

As most of our Lamoille campus probably knows now, the Library is focusing on books that have been or will be made into movies!

I love books (obviously) and when new films are made out of my favorite books, I tend to cringe!  Well, first I cheer, then I cringe.  

What if they cut out my favorite scene? 

What if the actor cast doesn't look like the one I had imagined?  

What if they ruin it?  

This past year has been a big year for fiction to film...The Hobbit and Les Miserables were released in December, Life of Pi and Breaking Dawn, pt. 2 in November, Perks of Being a Wallflower in September, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days in August, The Lorax and The Hunger Games in March,  One for the Money in January.  

2013 promises to be a great year of releases as well!  (Let's just hope they are done well!)
