Omari Anyabwile in respone to Christopher Weeden

I think its interesting for Chris to pick a book based off of a movie he saw. For instance, some movies just trash the book and do not go along with the story plot. The Harry Potter movies are a great example. All the books are terrific and capture you instantly. However, the movies skip the most important parts of the novel and sometimes leave you hanging. I'm not saying all novels tied with movies are disappointments. Spike Lee's movie Malcolm X was very true to his novel. Although he didn't put everything in, he captured the major plots of the movie and thats what made it a real thrill.
