Which is all that matters.).

Too many times I have been disappointed at how much movies cut out of the book. You can't get away from the adaptation not living up to the book, but sometimes it just drives me nuts! I think the Harry Potter series was well done for the screen. Hunger Games was okay. But I'm frightened for "The City of Bones" coming up this year. The book was ok, but I'm afraid they will just kill the thing in the hopes of being the new "Twilight" epic series. The Twilight and Harry Potter kids have grown up, but I guess they want to sink their teeth into a new paranormal teen series.
