I just finished the newest book in the Dresden Files (not the horrible tv show but the book series it was based on), and I have only one thing to say. DAMN YOU JIM BUTCHER!!! How could you end a book that way and not release the next till late 2011! I need to know what happens next! _________________ Zombie Apocalypse Survival Rule #3

Dude...I feel your pain....the only reason I haven't hunted down Robert Jordan for the way he would end his Wheel of Time books is that he has already kicked the bucket...kinda takes the fun out of it _________________ Marco Antonio Hazzardi |

Silvador it may have been a decent show but it was nothing like the book at all so I dislike it. To each his own I guess.
The WoT books ate up a massive amount of my time but were definitely worth it. _________________ Zombie Apocalypse Survival Rule #3

i hate how producers of shows and movies take artistic liberties with the story plot to fit their agenda _________________ Star Silver

It's not always with the authors permission either. I met Christopher Paolini at a book signing and everyone was questioning how he could let the Eragon storyline get so screwed up in the film ... He said as a new author they wouldn't grant him final edit rights and basically he had no control over the final product. And as always the books were SO much better than the film. |
