The Difference Between Novel & Movie: The Fault In Our Stars
I have read the novel The Fault in Our Stars, and have watched the movie of the same name. Now I can make comparisons. In my point of view I feel the novel is much better than the movie. The movie was great and it completed the whole novel of how it was imagined by the author. But, the novel felt as if it was the movie as well. The movie and novel neither didn’t disappoint its fans. I loved the novel much better, because it felt much different. When I saw the movie I have felt that I already know what is going to happen, but loved it, also. To me the novel has felt stronger, and heartfelt, because you imagine the characters. You can try to picture how they look like, and how they are alike. In the movie you feel you already know everything that’s going to happen, because you’ve read the book. However, there will be some people who will tell you that both were great. I have felt that imagining is a challenge, and I love challenges when I read novels, and the movies adapted towards it. The movie didn’t disappoint me. But I would prefer the novel than the movie any day.

What I Am Reading 2…
This year I am reading The Hunger Games: Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins, The Godfather by Mario Puzo, and an astronomy book called Before The Big Bang by Brian Clegg. I am in the middle of the novel of Mockingjay. I am starting to wonder at first if Katniss Everdeen will ever survive against The Capitol? Is she going to live or die? Are Katniss and Peeta love interests? Will The Capitol ever be conquered? These are my top concerns. Please don’t spoil it by telling me, because I want to know when I’m finished reading it. The Godfather I already know what happens throughout the novel. I am throughout the middle and reading it the second time. The book Before The Big Bang is about what was there before the big bang started. I am also reading The Shining by Stephen King… and of course writing reference books.
