I feel exactly the same! At times it felt like I was reading a parody of the Suchet adaptationI felt the same about the Sophie Hannah Poirot books. I like Sophie, I like Poirot but I did not like the too together!

Tirzah Price, I've seen it advertised on Instagram adverts. It's a retelling where Elizabeth wants to be a lawyer like her father. I think it is technically in the YA category.I feel exactly the same! At times it felt like I was reading a parody of the Suchet adaptation

I loved The Hungrr Games adaptations. It’s one of my favourite book series ever and I love the films - particularly the first one. I think the story and characters translated really well to the screen and as far as I remember they stuck to the source material fairly well.Not strictly just a bookish question but what’s everyone’s favourite book to movie / tv adaptation? Which ones have they done best in your opinion? And what books would make good tv and films that you hope they adapt at some point?
LOTR trilogy. I adored the books and was scared the films would not do them justice but they did.Not strictly just a bookish question but what’s everyone’s favourite book to movie / tv adaptation?

I love it too ! I still have my copy, first read it when I was about 11 I think, it's probably the only book I've kept from my childhood.LOTR trilogy. I adored the books and was scared the films would not do them justice but they did.
I love a book called Greeen Dolphin Country by Elizabeth Goudge. It’s set in both Guernsey and in New Zealand, it’s historical about 2 sisters who love the same guy and I’ve always thought it would be a wonderful series.
As others have said LOTR and Hunger Games are great movie adaptations (although Hunger Games does leave out a lot). The 1995 BBC version of Pride and Prejudice is great and I really enjoyed the recent adaptation of Little Women.Not strictly just a bookish question but what’s everyone’s favourite book to movie / tv adaptation?

Love The Hunger Games, it's what encouraged me to read the books.Not strictly just a bookish question but what’s everyone’s favourite book to movie / tv adaptation? Which ones have they done best in your opinion? And what books would make good tv and films that you hope they adapt at some point?
Yes, I looooove the recent adaptation of Little Women.As others have said LOTR and Hunger Games are great movie adaptations (although Hunger Games does leave out a lot). The 1995 BBC version of Pride and Prejudice is great and I really enjoyed the recent adaptation of Little Women.
I really like the Hitchcock film of Rebecca too.
Thank you! It sounds good so I've added it to my endless TBR list.Tirzah Price, I've seen it advertised on Instagram adverts. It's a retelling where Elizabeth wants to be a lawyer like her father. I think it is technically in the YA category.
It's not the most faithful adaptation, but I loved the 2014 version of North and South (possibly because of Richard Armitage and Daniela Denby-Ashe playing the leads).Not strictly just a bookish question but what’s everyone’s favourite book to movie / tv adaptation?

A series of unfortunate events was my lifeeeeee growing up. I absolutely adored that book series. Also hated the film! The series was ok but still not anywhere near the books. I’d have loved some episodes on the later books rather than the most popular ones.Love The Hunger Games, it's what encouraged me to read the books.
I've enjoyed Series 1 of Big Little Lies and am re watching it with my other half so we can both watch series 2 together.
I initially really liked The Handmaid's Tale but have stopped watching somewhere in series 3.
We Need To Talk About Kevin really encouraged me to read the book too, that was good.
I loved A Series of Unfortunate Events as a kid but reaaaaaaaally hated the film adaptation. I was really happy to watch the Netflix series, it was everything I wanted from the adaptation and felt it was done with real love for the books.
Did you watch all 3 series? They did 2 episodes per book for all 13 books except the very last which was just oneA series of unfortunate events was my lifeeeeee growing up.

There was a Jane Eyre adaptation with Ruth Wilson in the early/mid 2000's?Ok I have a few
I saw an adaptation of Jane Eyre years ago that I really enjoyed, but I can’t for the life of me find it again.
Modern would be Crazy Rich Asians, that’s probably because I really, really did love that series
also ‘something borrowed’ with Kate Hudson, i really want them to make “something blue”they HAD A SCRIPT!!!
i now want to reread both books in that series
Overall winner.
Muppets Christmas Carol. Don’t fight me.
No I only watched the first!! That explains thatDid you watch all 3 series? They did 2 episodes per book for all 13 books except the very last which was just one
You’ve no idea how happy this makes me! I’ve never met anyone else who’s even heard of it let alone read it and loved itI love it too ! I still have my copy, first read it when I was about 11 I think, it's probably the only book I've kept from my childhood.
Oh that’s an amazing adaptation...that scene in the mill shed with all the cotton in the air around them...those two had such chemistry!Thank you! It sounds good so I've added it to my endless TBR list.
