Books to movies

It seems recently there have been a lot of movies made from popular YA books (Maze Runner, Hunger Games, Divergent, Ender's Game, Fault in our stars, etc.). I haven't seen a lot of them, but from what I heard, some die-hard readers have been a little disappointed in the movie versions of their favorite books. This recent Unshelved comic says it all:
I love the last sentence, "Aren't great books miracle enough?".

5/28/14: I tried watching "Odd Thomas" this weekend and had to quit after just a few minutes. It was so disappointing - the book is WAY better!

Have you been on the CHS English Wiki???

https://chs-bulldog-wiki.wikispaces.com/

Have you been to the CHS English Wiki recently? Mrs. Gemeinhart's 9th grade English classes are posting their "Personal Narratives" and I think you would find many of them very interesting. You can even make a comment (you have to "Join" the wiki first). The link in on the bottom left side of the CHS homepage or click the wiki photo above on this page. Have fun and read about the adventures of the Class of 2017!
