Book Blogger Hop Day: May 27-29

Book Blogger Hop
As Crazy For Books says:

Book Blogger Hop is a place just for book bloggers and readers to connect and share our love of the written word! This weekly BOOK PARTis an awesome opportunity for book bloggers to connect with other book lovers, make new friends, support each other, and generally just share our love of books!

This week's question is:

 "What book-to-movie adaption have you most liked?  Which have you disliked?"

My Answer: This is a tough one, but if I have to choose, I'd say Memoirs of a Geisha is one of the best book-to-movie adaptations I've seen.  Even though the movie condensed the story, it kept enough of the novel to really show Sayuri's life in such a beautiful visual setting.  I was not at all happy with the movie adaptation of Blood and Chocolate.  It was as if the director threw out the original story and just kept the names of characters.  Even the setting was different, and it felt so very wrong I just couldn't get through the entire movie.  I would recommend that people either only read the book or watch the movie first then read the book.
