Books v movies again
So, many of you know how I feel about Hollywood adaptation of many books I love. For those who do not know, I will happily reiterate. I think that barred VERY few exceptions, they all forgive my language SUCK big time.
But conversation on Yahoo group most of us share made me think about whether there were movies based on the books that I enjoyed more than books and I think I found one.
I absolutely adore Horatio Hornblower A&E channel TV series. However I find the books which they are based on to be significantly less to my taste. I only read half of the book though so my opinion could be skewed, lol. I mean, I would not call books bad written or anything, I do realise that those are classics of naval fiction, I just do not like them. In fact they turned me off so much that because of that I was sort of reluctant to start reading excellent Aubrey Maturin series by Patrick O'Brien. Thank goodness I decided to read them :)
And I know why I love Horatio Hornblower series more, they elevated one of the very minor character in the first book to the status of main character best friend and they had such amazing chemistry if you ask me :) And yes, it inspired humongous amount of slash fanfiction :)
So question to you guys, do you have the movie based on the book that you enjoyed more than the book?
