Frankenstein book was a little long to read and not very interesting to me. The pictures were good to have to somewhat visualize what was going on‚ but otherwise the book was a waste of time to me.

Usually‚ when a movie is made about a story in a book or a play‚ the two stories are not exactly the same. The movie tends to add small details or leave some out in order to meet time limits and to make the story what they think will be more interesting. Such is the case with Shakespeare’s Hamlet. The movie starring Mel Gibson and Glenn Close left out and even added things that were not originally in the play. When Shakespeare wrote Hamlet he did not write in a scene depicting the funeral

With a Little Bit of Joy A good action movie pumps you up‚ makes you sweat‚ and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I would say everyone likes at least one action/thriller movie because it makes you feel different emotions throughout the movie. Some people including myself feel like a book can’t give you the quick immediate feelings that a movie gives you. When I read Joyland I was shown proof that a book can give you the same action pact feelings that a movie gives you. If you are someone that
