I've seen some pretty awful ones, of course, but I've seen plenty of good ones as well. I can't say much about the books on your list though, because I've only read part of The Chemical Garden Trilogy, and that's it! >.< <br /><br />9. A friend of mine has been pushing me to read all of Stephanie Perkins' books, especially Anna, so I'm hoping to maybe buy it and read it soon. I guess I was hesitant at first because of the cheesy title, and I don't do well with cheesy contemporaries. (Don't worry, my friend also told me that Anna was about as far from cheesy as possible. :P) You must've really loved this a lot to want to see it on the big screen. <br /><br />8. Yet another series I want to check out. It just has such a cool concept, and again, the books have so many fans! Lollll, Hollywood is so good at special effects, so prosthetics probably wouldn't be too much of a problem. <br /><br />5. To be honest, I don't really think TCG series would be that fun to watch onscreen. Totally a personal opinion, but I felt that the books were kind of boring, the characters flimsy, and like you said, the world building had a ton of problems, too. I don't know, I just get the feeling that if the books were made into a movie, the directors would butcher it by either trying to speed it up and add a LOT of romance. Then again, I haven't finished the series yet either (I still need to read the last book), so my thoughts are just based on the first two books. <br /><br />4. I just saw a review for Anna Dressed in Blood and it said that the book was very cinematic, too! And yeah, I'd definitely love to see more YA horror films -- most of the time I'm too chicken to watch the adult ones by myself, haha. I think Carrie was a kind of YA horror film, though? Have you watched it? <br /><br />3. Ooh, I didn't know The 5th Wave was going to be a film! I own the book and am halfway through it and I agree, the "mysterious" marketing campaign would work incredibly well. Heck, even the book trailer was amazing.<br /><br />Yeah, I better get around to reading all these books! It's only a matter of time before every YA book is being made into a movie, lol. Great list, Louise! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09728770925522232602noreply@blogger.com
