Screenwriter ruined one of my favorite books


If you have to change a story this much to make it a movie, just make a different movie and give it a different name. Why are the Harry Potter movies so popular? They stayed close to the books. Adding another character to this story completely ruined it for me.

What happens in the book different to the movie? Anything significant? Or are you fussin over minor stuff?

When you take a book with two characters and turn it into a love triangle, I wouldn't call that minor. Truthfully the actors all did a good job, esp Margot. But it strayed too far for me adding another person.

To be quite honest, I found the movie story, much more intriguing than the book. This was a fine adaptation.🐭

The book isn't ruined. You can read and enjoy it anytime you'd like.
