Top Ten Tuesday - Books to Movie Adaption Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created here by The Broke and the Bookish. This meme was created because they are particularly fond of lists  at The Broke and the Bookish. They love to share their lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!

As Kimberly (at The Broke and the Bookish) put it....as painful as book to movie adaptations can be, the changes they make, the things they leave out... there are some great ones out there, even if they aren't as good as the book (they pretty much never are) they are enjoyable. So, in no particular order, my Top Ten Book to Movie Adaptations.

1.  Where the Wild Things Are:  I just absolutely loved this movie.  I thought it was so cute and I love the soundtrack.  My kids however, didn't really care about it.

2. Romana and Beezus:  I think this movie is so different than the book(s), but it was another one of those "so cute movies."  I really liked all the stars in the movie and thought they did a fantastic job with each character.

3.  The Blind Side:  I am not sure what came first....the book or the movie.  Either way, the movie is FABULOUS and something that I wish I could do some day.  This is a 10 star(fish) movie for me.

4.  Twilight Series:  I actually like the movies better than the book.  I thought they did a pretty job keeping the movie true to the book.  Disclaimer:  I listened to the books on my ipod, I might have not been paying attention through the whole book!

5.  The Princess Diaries: I love this entire series and wish they would do more of the books into movies.  I was not thrilled with Julia Andrews as the grandmother - I think Cloris Leachman or Betty White would be a better grandmother.

6. Diary of a Whimpy Kid:  This is another movie that I think they did such a great job keeping it real with the book for most of it.  I loved the casting for this movie too.

7.  The Grinch:  Who doesn't think Jim Carey is the perfect Grinch?

8.  Message in a Bottle:  I loved the movie more than the book, but I loved Notebook, the book, better than movie!

9. The Girl With A Dragoon Tattoo series:  I liked all three movies.  Even though they didn't follow the book in the same order....they covered everything, just in a different order.

10.  Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas:  This was a tv movie....so I am not sure if it counts.  Nothing will ever be as good as the book, but it was still as good movie (for tv)! Posted by Seaside Book Nook at 1:59 PM 1 comments

Note: contest ends 2-23-11 at 11:59 PM EST Posted by Seaside Book Nook at 6:38 PM 50 comments The Book of Tomorrow Synopsis:  What if we knew what tomorrow would bring?
Would we fix it? Could we?
Born into the lap of luxury, sixteen-year-old Tamara Goodwin has never had to look to tomorrow, until the abrupt death of her father leaves her and her mother a mountain of debt and forces them to move in with Tamara's peculiar aunt and uncle in a tiny countryside village. Lonely and bored, Tamara's only diversion is a traveling library. There she finds a large leather-bound book with a gold clasp and padlock. Intrigued, she pries the lock open, and what she finds inside takes her breath away.
Tamara sees entries written in her handwriting and dated for the next day, and when they happen exactly as recorded, she realizes she may have found the solution to her problems. But Tamara soon learns that some pages are better left unturned and that, try as she might, she can't interfere with fate.
My Review:  I absolutely loved this book.  This is not like her chic-lit book, P.S. I Love You (and I love chic-lit).  The hardest thing with this book for me was to put it down.  I was up too late too many nights reading this book!  I was completed pulled into the story.  I think the best way to describe this book is a “magic-infused suspense novel.”  It is filled with twists and turns that have me wanting more.
The main character, Tamara, is a spoiled brat whose father commits suicide.  Tamara and her mother are forced to move to the country and live with her Uncle Artie and Aunt Rosaleen.  The people that enter her life through the book and the lessons she learns just keeps you wanting more.  Tamara soon realizes that she is responsible for her actions and learns some very valuable lessons.  My favorite character that she meets is Sister Ignatius.  I wish I knew someone like her in my life.
