Reading Books after You've Seen the Movie

[tautomer]

"Interview With The Vampire" is a great novel, the movie was actually decent but nowhere near the book. The second movie from the series was called "Queen of the Damned" and sucked ass compared to the two novels it covered. I don't know if there have been any other movies based on Anne Rice's work since then but I recommend reading her stuff if you're into that genre.

Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas (the book) is way better than the movie, and the movie was pretty good IMO.

One of the few movies that I've seen that I can honestly say I despised. Haven't read the book.

Book was pretty miserable in comparison to Interview with the Vampire. The Interview movie was a great example of a movie being crap in comparison to the book.

That was confusing.

I have a very high respect for Orson Scott Card. I couldn't be more diametrically oppossed to his religous views, but he writes about religion in his fiction very, very well.

I've read a lot of his column "uncle orson reviews everything", and while he and I have different tastes in lots of things, he articulates what he does and does not like about things so concisely that I often know if I'll like something from his review.
