Lissette (liss4ever) true, they're probably put more make up on them to make them look younger,

I'm curious how The Book Thief by Markus Zusak is going to turn out as movie. It was such a good book and could be an amazing movie if it's down right.

Lots and lots of books to movie coming out in the next few months. I'm always wary though, sometimes they ruin some of my favorite books :(

Yeah I know what you mean. I hate when they do that.


message 56: by Lissette (new)

Lissette (liss4ever) Yea, book thief is going to be a movie, and they were really careful un picking the perfect person to play the girl, and they saw the young actress nailed the performance. They were impressed by her.

Little Bee (littlebeesreads) I can't wait to see The Book Thief.

YA Book Bum (crackling-bones) | 5 comments To be honest, I don't want any books to be made into a movie. I don't know. There is no explanation why. I just don't like the idea. :(

Is it wrong of me to feel like they changed so much but still like the movie?? lol


message 68: by Morgan (new)

Morgan | 1315 comments Mod
Yeah it felt like they did change a lot due to Kronos and the actual sea of monsters but I did really love it as well.

I guess I can take it as two seperate entities but they changed so much from the books that I was like wow. I think it helps that the actors they chose for these characters are spot on for me. The girl that played Clarisse was perfect and I loved the main three in the first movie and this one too!


message 70: by Morgan (new)

Yeah and I just loved how they just started with that sort of action scene and the music was just awesome! And I agree Clarisse was spot on. And I just loved all the sarcasm from Grover and Annabeth.

Grover is just pure awesome. I even enjoyed Tyson despite the change, he was really funny too!

They are doing a Daughter of Smoke and Bone movie? I love the book but that's A LOT of makeup effects to cram into one movie!

I just found out that The Book Thief is not going to be narrated by Death...I feel like that's a huge chunk to take out :(
