yeah!!! I mean, alot of John Grisham novels have been turned into films.. and ive read nearly all of his books and none of the movies are anywhere near as good.. except, to be honest, The Runaway Jury movie was quite good, and did the book lot of justice..

I gues the problem is, it takes hours, days, even weeks to read a book for some people, but a movie is only a couple of hours long.. in books you get back story, more character development etc etc, so it makes the story seem more realistic.. whereas movies are over in 2 hours, you get no back story, so you dont know anythin about the ppl youre watching.. characters seem more flat and unlifelike, because how much character development can you fit into two hours!?!? lol

dammit dammit dammit
