~Kip~ Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 I dont know why some books are SOOOOOOO dang long, taking you a month or so to read, then the movie is only 1/2 an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twig Posted February 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 As long as I like the book, I always read pretty fast. Most movies based on books makes a bad adaptation because they have to shorten the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sploda Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Unless the movie came first you should always read instead of watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartan919 Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 How can you only read one and seven? The seventh must have made no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, this is not a book club. How can you only read one and seven? The seventh must have made no sense. The seventh made sense to me.

Spartan919 Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Really? It would make no sense to me; I would understand nothing of what was going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means you need to read more slowly and carefully or have a better vocabulary so you can have a better understanding of the words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sploda Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 It would make sense, but you would be lost as to what happened in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flexh Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Username:Bucketkiller19 Favorite Books/Books Currently Reading:Skullduggery Pleasent,The Edge Chronicles Writing Examples:[spoiler=Writing Example]I glanced up,the world stopped turning as my heart was beating in terror,there was an mysterious,unknown figure above me.I looked closely staring at this figure trying to find out what it was as my legs were shivering in fright,A thought came to my humble,small head that this could be some kind of angel.I thought i knew it when this what I called "Angel" flew down slowly.As he was making his descent my mind went blank and I tried to run away but Clouds blocked my way as a realised the angel didn't come down,i came up to the shiny but scary sky.I was weightless and was able to float around like i was a aeroplane.This angel came to me and looked very familiar to someone i had known,love and cherish for my whole life.This was my uncle Billy,I felt ashamed for trying to run away from someone i always wanted around me.Then suddenly I dropped.I opened my eyes.It was all a dream,I ran down the stairs in horror of what i had just witnessed.My Mom Quickly shouted "What Do you Think you are doing young man go back to bed and get a grip"I never thought i would hear that.I went back to my room to see something staring at me through the window,but what was it...

EliminateHRN Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Books can make sense if read out of order. Every book series I read (Harry Potter, Twilight Saga, Inheritance Cycle, etc.), I started with the first book in the series. However, I started reading the Pendragon series on the 4th book and it made sense to me. I still want the other three though. Since the Eragon movie was so screwed up, I decided to make a unofficial fan screenplay. Just for fun really. It is also my first screenplay I ever wrote. I'm also planning on starting the first book in a series I'm making in the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
