Hopefully will inspire me to read the book too! I would say The Host book is better than the film. I'm excited to watch How I Live Now and World War Z, as they are both ones I missed at the cinema. Havent read either book though....

I thought it would be more depressing, but like you said, it was a lot more subtle than I expected. I haven't had time to read the book yet but my mum has just finished it and apparently it's a lot more detailed than the film was. And more sad. <br /><br />We'll see!Vicky @ A Backpack Full of Adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13636399371238254909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21582709.post-16692635460036041332014-02-20T12:32:47.844+00:002014-02-20T12:32:47.844+00:00In some ways, it better to watch The Host movie fi...In some ways, it better to watch The Host movie first, the book has a lot more to it and I ended up a bit disappointed with the film. And I can't wait to watch The Book Thief, I am going to have to re-read it first though, to refresh my memory.Anyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08782012259870311268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21582709.post-7247479253118155382014-02-20T12:02:38.407+00:002014-02-20T12:02:38.407+00:00I love The Book Thief and How I Live Now so I'...I love The Book Thief and How I Live Now so I'm glad the film adaptations were good!mayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13325673973210555338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21582709.post-47355100483912636682014-02-20T09:48:47.712+00:002014-02-20T09:48:47.712+00:00I agree with pretty much all of this!

And yeah, Beautiful Creatures isn't great. I wouldn't bother with it if you didn't like the movie. Great post! :)Cicelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17737697388817864093noreply@blogger.com
