Which would you prefer to do - Read the Book or Watch the Movie? #BooksandMore #mackadebloghop #DarylDevore #author

Welcome to the #BooksandMore blog hop. A chance for writers to talk about more than our books and a chance for readers to meet and get to know the writers.

This week’s theme is - Read the book or watch the movie.

Both. If I have read the book, I am cautious about watching the movie or TV series. While the Poirot and Miss Marple series were excellently done - there were still "adaptations". Some were acceptable. Others not so much. The later versions of the stories are even worse. Dame Agatha would be horrified. Why modernized what is beloved as an era piece of fiction?

Now - on the other hand - I have not read the Harry Potter books - but I have seen all the movies. I understand that there were things I did not comprehend because I should have read the books - but still, I loved the fantasy world and was cheering the characters along as the series unfolded.

Now hop over and read the other blog posts and - get to know them better.

  1. I’ve never read Agatha Christie, but I enjoyed the latest Poirot movies with Kenneth Branagh.

    1. My least favourite. I enjoyed his version of Murder on the Orient Express, but I disliked the Nile version.
