The book was among the best sci-fi reads I have experienced and the twist ending was perfectly suited to the big screen.<br />It has related themes to The Da Vinci Code but I feel this is a much stronger story myself. Highly recommended reading for any fans of the genre.<br />http://www.scifiauthorbrazzel.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07769734107135027496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040914078355130442.post-22655539280656877972015-02-26T17:07:03.780+00:002015-02-26T17:07:03.780+00:00Hello Nick!

The books definitely drew me in, but I'm not so sure about the movie. I recently saw Garth Nix speak and he was talking about how Sabriel has come close to becoming a movie, but the deals all fell through. I would SO love to see the Abhorsen trilogy made into movies. I love those books.Shell Flowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08127004188099765270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040914078355130442.post-7001996413817251292015-02-24T04:35:15.965+00:002015-02-24T04:35:15.965+00:00Oh, this is always fun!

For me, there are lots of books I'd love (and fear) to see come to the big screen, because I love them so much as books I wouldn't want to see them ruined. BUT, if someone does them right, I'd love to see Veronica Rossi's UNDER THE NEVER SKY series, AC Gaughen's SCARLET, and of course WOT and anything by Jim Butcher. :)Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10680066584646789184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040914078355130442.post-46686311207359576862015-02-24T01:36:20.116+00:002015-02-24T01:36:20.116+00:00Sorry, have no desire to se 50 shades.

Your books would make amazing movies!<br /><br />Sarah - 50 Shades have got out of hand!<br /><br />Yeah, we do need to kind of finish and publish our books before we can dream of a movie! Just a minor thing, I suppose.<br /><br />Elizabeth - I haven't heard of that one, thanks for the tip.<br /><br />Chrys - Well, enough people seem to love the book that they also love the movie, sadly! <br /><br />Crystal - It's never quite the same, but I appreciate when the movies get more people reading the original books. I think that happened with Harry Potter.<br /><br />Susan - My wife appreciates the choice because she loves him, especially in The Time Traveller's Wife. She loves the book, too!<br /><br />Elizabeth - Yes! It would really help some of us lesser heard of authors get exposure.<br /><br />Arlee - Yeah, if it ever did happen to me I'd be breathing down the director's neck!<br /><br />Stephanie - When I found out it started as Twilight fanfic, that was the nail in the coffin for me!<br /><br />Christine - Interesting choice. I haven't read this!<br /><br />Don - Yes, that tends to be the problem, but I contend that it hopefully gets more people interested in picking up and reading the book (there's usually a tie-in edition too). Both my stepdaughters read The Fault in our Stars because they loved the movie.<br /><br />Meradeth - Another tip - thanks!<br /><br />Shannon - It's frustrating when a movie gets stuck in development.
