Usually, I like it if a book has been made into a movie because I get to compare how I played it in my mind vs. how it is in the movie. I don't have a pattern because sometimes I watch the movie first and other times I read the book first but more often I watch the movie and then want to read the book. Sometimes I get angry if they leave my favorite part from the book out in the movie. There isn't really a book that I want to be a movie but I do think it would be nice to make The School For Good And Evil into a movie. I am really excited to watch the movie because although I've watched it before I really enjoyed it so I can't wait to watch it again.I enjoy most books and currently enjoy The Outsiders but I'm sure that the movie will be great.

I like it when books are turned into movies because I like to watch movies. Sometimes I read the book before the movie and sometimes I don't. I have never been angry when any book turned into a movie. I wish Captain Underpants was a movie. I am excited for The Outsiders.

no, I do not like it when books turn into movies. I do indeed read the books before the movies, but only of books that I actually read, only because I always view movies as major spoilers to the books. Don't get me wrong, I love spoilers, but not movie spoilers. I do not wish any of my favorite books would turn into movies, except maybe Food. I could not be any LESS excited to watch the movie The Outsiders. If I hate the book,(which I can assure you, I do.) then there is NO WAY ON EARTH I would want the movie. At all. I'm not very sure how much I can hammer it in, but I probably will as much as I can. Lastly, I never wanted ANYTHING to do with the book, but I was sadly forced to read it. I'm probably the only person to not like it either. I mean there's got to be SOMEONE out there who despises it as much as I do.

Most of the time the movies that are made after the book are good. Like Harry Potter, The Hunger games. But every couple of them just don't seem to be like the book which irritates you and makes you want to yell at the director of that film. Most of the time that I you see movies about the book I didn't read them but now I like reading them because during the movie, you can tell which parts were cut off and it kinda makes me laugh. Their have been many times when I watched a movie and I just didn't seem to like it and I really got bothered by it. If I got the choice to pick a book that i wanted to turn into a movie, it would definitely be The Boy On the Wooden Box. That was signal handedly the best book I have ever read. I cant wait to watch the outsiders. My parents and brother and sister told me it is a very good movie. I just cant wait to see who they put as the characters and how many parts they did or didn't miss that was in the book.

Yes i like it when books are made into movies because they have 2 different settings. and i like watching movies i like watching movies because you can listen to them and relax. Instead of reading for a long time also i like it when the movies come out later it is fun to compare the books to the movies. Because you can see how the movies are compared to the book that's what i think about the movies compared to the books.

I don't really like it when books are made into movies because it doesn't give you full details in the stories that are amazing. I read books before, after, and sometimes not at all because it takes up to much space in my head and it makes me forget what I am doing at the moment or at all so I go a little crazy to remember what is happening. Yeah when the movie is really different then the book it makes me mad that my brain goes into war with it's self so I have to convince myself that it is a book not real life at this time period. The book I wish would be turned into a movie is the Minecraft books or gamer books that are made into movies so I can see what some people think of these movies. Yes, I am excited for us to watch the movie "The Outsiders" because the book is so interesting at the parts that are shown in the story. It is so interesting that I want to watch the movie over and over again till I get so bored I fall asleep on my laptop.

Yes, I do like it when books are made into movies. It gives you a chance to rest your brain and stop visualizing and just watch. Also if you hear about a book that is really good but you don’t want to read it so you can watch instead. That way if you see how good it is then you might decide to read the book. That is why I think books should be made into movies.

I like it when books are turned in to movies because its nice to see visuals. Also read the book first because if I watch it I wont read it. I've never been mad about a book becoming a movie the book i would like to be turned into a movie is hatchet because i really love that book and i would like to see that in a visual because its an action book and i really like action books and movies.

Yes, I do like when people turn book into movies because I like watching things way more the reading them. I sometimes read books after I watch a movie, but I usually never read the book at all. I have been angry at a movie because it was not even close to the book. I wish for the I Survived series to be made in to movies because there very good and also have lots of action. I am very excited to watch the movie of the of The Outsiders.

I think that it isn't a bad thing when a book is made into a movie. I usually read the book before I watch a movie because the book normally has more details about the character and is longer (the story plot). I wish that the hole series of The City Of Embers Was made into a movie because the first movie was very good and very realistic. When we watched the outsiders the hole beginning where Poneyboy gets jumped wasn't in the movie and they skipped the hole beginning where it introduced the characters. I usually like the movie better than the book because it's a visualization and you can see how the director visualized the story. Normally a movie adds things like action to keep the audience engaged. Over all I like movies more than books because movies have more action than the books due although they don’t have as much details about the characters.

In my family, we have a rule that we have to read a book first before we see the movie version of it. I like that rule, because most of the time those books are really intriguing and entertaining. Some books should be made into movies, in my opinion. For example, the book, The Selection,one of my favorite novels, would be a great movie. I looked it up to see if it was going to be turned into a movie, and it is in April 2015! Some books are really enjoyable, but their movies aren't as good, leaving out or adding certain scenes. For example, I enjoyed the book, The Hunger Games, much more than I did the movie. I felt that there were added scenes replacing some of my favorite parts in the book, which I didn't enjoy very much. Overall, I think sometimes it's good to make books into movies as long as they are close to the actual book, and that it is better to read the book before watching the movie.

Yes I do like it when books are made into movies, because I enjoy to see how others imagined what the book looks like compared to how I imagined it. Also I love to watch movies. If a movie looks interesting then I will usually read the book before I see the movie. For example I saw the trailers for Paper Towns and I thought it looked very intriguing so, I deiced to read the book over the summer before, I saw the movie a little while later. I am usually pretty happy about how movies turn out after I have read the book, but I read The Mocking Jay and then saw the movie and I felt that the movie left out many details that were present in the book. Over the summer I read Every Soul A Star by Wendy Mass and I thought it was a really great read and that it would make a terrific movie and appeal to many kids who haven’t had a chance to read the book or didn’t even know it existed. I am very existed to watch The Outsiders movie and see how the book in my head is different from the movie. In the book the characters and setting are all thoroughly described and I am excited to see how it all comes together in the movie.

I personally like it when books are made into movies, because I get to compare the characters’ looks in my head to the ones in the movie. I also like to see what was added to make the movie better, or what parts were taken out. I usually read the book before I see the movie that was made for it, because there are so much more details in the books that you will miss in the movies. I would like ;lots of books to be made into movies, including the book Finally. It’s my favorite book at the moment, and I would love to see it as a movie. Overall, I was very excited to start watching The Outsiders, so I could compare and contrast my thoughts to the director’s thoughts.I love books that are turned into movies, and I can’t wait to finish The Outsiders!

I am very happy we got to watch an amazing movie. And I love movies that were books. Hate when movies change books because it makes them dumb and not worthy of watching . I love books. Books are amazing. Books are terrific. I love everything. Books that are not movies make me mad. Books that are movies make me happy. I hope more books become movies. Books should be enjoyed no matter what.books are cool cool cool cool and cooler when they are made into movies. Movies should be made into books too. Everything should be made into a book or movie. They are two amazing things.a book can be read. And a movie can be watched. Its pretty cool if you like a book then its made into a movie.and its also cool if a movie is made into a book. I love going to the movies and reading books.

Yes, I do like when books are made in to movies, because it gives you another view of things. If I do watch a movie before I read the book I do end up reading the book after to see what the differences are, but I don’t necessarily look for the differences. When I do read a book first, I'm excited to see the movie afterwards. What I don’t like is when you read three chapters of a book and they sum that up into five minutes. Its kind of annoying I guess you could say. A book I wish was made into a movie is the kingdom keepers books. Because the books are a little confusing and I think that watching it instead of reading it might make a difference for people. we have started watching the outsiders and I'm really enjoying it. the characters look kind of how i pictured them looking. I'm sure the movie will just keep getting better and better.

I sometimes like when books are made into movies, but it makes me mad when the movie is not like the book at all. I usually read the book first. I do this because if I do ever watch the movie then I know if it was changed or not and I can remember the true literature that was the in the book. The next question brings me to my first statement when I said “It makes me mad when the movie is not lie the book at all”. I remember my favorite book that I read and reread. The book was called Ella Enchanted. It was about a girl named Ella that had a curse put on her that made her obedient. Her mother died and her father remarried to Dame Olga. She soon had two stepsisters who found out about her curse and made her do a lot of things that she didn’t want to do. She also befriended the prince and soon fell in love with him. In the movie they turned it into a musical for one and the cook Mandy was young in the movie but she was old and wise in the book. One big part was the main villain in the book was Hattie and the main villain in the movie was the evil uncle of the prince. I was really disappointed. I am excited about The Outsiders movie, but I just hope the movie doesn’t change anything from the book.

I like it when books are made into movies. I like that because you actually get to see what the characters look like and how they act. Also I like to see the movie because if it is a good book you would want to see if the movie is better than the book. If they change something in the movie that wasn't in the book it kind of makes it frustrating and confusing. For example, in the book the Outsiders I couldn't imagine what some of the characters looked like so now I watched some of the movie and can tell what the characters looked like. If the book is turned in to a movie and it is kinda like the movie I enjoy it when books are made into movies. I am so happy to finish the end of the outsiders because I want to see if the book will be better or if the movie will be better.

I do like when a book is made into a movie so that I can compare what I imagined in my head to what the author had in mind. Also, it is exciting to watch a movie based on a book you read. I often read the book first so that I know what it is all about and I have an idea in my head what everything looks like. I have seen the movie before reading the book a few times, but I like reading the book first better. I have been angry about a movie being different than the book. It still makes a good movie, but I prefer it to be like the book. One example of this happening was in the Divergent series. Four is kind to his father in the movie but not the book. I would like to see the Partials series and the book The Lab made into movies. These are two of my favorite books and are both about two boys that are secretly super soldiers. I am very excited to watch the Outsiders and finish the book.

I think movies are great and I like watching them, but I think the books are better depending on the book or movie. I almost always read the books first, like the Hunger Game series by Suzanne Collins, but sometimes I watch the movie first, like Maze Runner by James Dashner. One book I was angry at the movie version was Insurgent by Veronica Roth because they didn't include most of the good parts and they changed the way some of the characters were supposed to look in the book. One book I wish could get made into a movie is a book I just finished called Dying To Know You by Aidan Chambers, because the book was just so amazing and a great read and as I read it I got lost in the words and story plot. Yes, I am very excited to watch the movie The Outsiders because the book, so far, is really good and I can't wait to finish reading it, and seeing if the book or movie is better.

I do like when book are made into movies. I think its really interesting how people read a story and then can make it into a real life situation. For example I read a book called "Dreamer,Wisher, Liar" it was quite fascinating and interesting, and I would personally love to see the movie, but there isn't one. So as the book I'm currently reading "Finding Ruby Starling". It would make an awesome movie! In the other hand, i think books about magic or something like that shouldn't be made into movies. Only because they would probably require a lot of props. I don't really have a pattern sometimes I read a book first and then watch a movie but usually I watch the movie and then read a book. I don't really get angry about missing out the parts in the movie that weren't in the book because most of the times my tavorite parts are always shown in the movie. I am really excited to see "The Outsiders" too. I'll bet it will be as interesting as the book.

I like it when books are made into movies, because I get to compare the characters’ looks in my head to the ones in the movie. I withal relish to visually perceive what was integrated to make the movie preponderant, or what components were taken out. I customarily read the book before i see the movie that was made for it, because there are so much more details in the books that you will miss in the movies. I would relish ;lots of books to be made into movies, including the book Conclusively. It’s my favorite book at the moment, and I would dote to optically discern it as a movie. Overall, I was very exhilarated to commence visually examining The Outsiders, so I could compare and contrast my movie to the director’s cool conceptions.I love books that are turned into movies, and I can’t wait to finish the book the outsiders.

I like when books are made into movies, because for me the movie is easier to understand. For example sometimes a book might have words that you don’t understand, while the movie gives you a little hint of what it means. I always watch the movie first to help understand the book a little better before I start reading the book. I also have find the movie a little better then the book, because the movie is easier to find and then book might be hard to find sometimes. And a book that I really want that’s terns into a movie is a wrinkle in time witch is a fiction book about a girl named Meg, and I really recommend you read it at some point.
