Julian from Austin, Texas: "I wanted to hear your thoughts on the topic of book adaptations, specificallywhat makes a good adaptation? I tend to be a very smug book reader and almost always prefer the book over the TV show or movie that it had been adapted from. How can adaptations be done right in your opinion? Is strict adherence to the source material vital, or just as long as it is able to capture the overall message and feeling the book was going for good enough? I would love to hear your thoughts on this and if you canname some instances where you actually found the TV or movie adaptation to be better than the original books they were based on?"
Ben: Die Hard, Ready Player One
HT: Gone Girl, Fight Club, The Lord of the Rings
