I want to start off with sharing an underrated book with you. It’s not a book-made-into-movie kind of book, but movies

Books made into movies have been there for a long time. You all know The Wizard of Oz, from 1939. But did you know that the first

MY FAVOURITES
I obviously haven’t read all of the books made into movies, but I have read quite a few. I want to talk to you about some of my favorites and if the movies did justice to the books.
Simon VS the Homo Sapiens Agenda
I loved the movie so much, I asked for this book past birthday. I got it (together with the sequel, Leah on the Off Beat) and I read it in two days. The movie really did justice to this book! I have written a blog post about the book and the movie before and you can read it here.

The Fault in our Stars
John Green is my favorite writer, so I really can’t forget these books! The movie came out in 2014 and was a huge hit. I read the book a year before, in Dutch, and I cried. While watching it in the cinema, I did not cry. I thought it was because I knew what the story was about and saw things coming, but I was wrong. I got the book in English later on in 2014 and I cried reading it. So I guess you can say that I love the book more! The movie did do justice to the book, but not enough.

Me Before You
This movie. It was so sad. As was the book. Jojo Moyes did a good job on this one. The movie was a great hit, I saw in the cinema and cried my eyes out. Even after watching it three times, I still cried. I read the book after seeing the movie twice, and it was even better than the movie. The book had a few great things that would have added more to the movie, like a tattoo Will and Lou get. The movie was good, but the book was better.
