I have The Dry ready on my bookshelf - set to be made into a movie by Reece Witherspoon. And another Paula Hawkins book after Girl On A Train - looking forward to watching some of these films on the big screen.

The first film is definitely one of the best book to screen adaptions that I have seen. It captured the magical atmosphere so well and brought the characters to life. The magic in this film makes me happy every time I watch it.

Artemis Fowl (2020) ducks its obligations and gives fans of the books the bird.

"...the underwhelming character work is set, like nuggets of corn in a turd, in a film so haphazardly plotted and ugly to look at that even fans of the book, steeped in the lore, will be hard-pushed to recognised all of the elements being thrown onto the screen. For a book series so notable for the ingenuity and intricacy of its world-building, it’s astonishing how perfunctory the effort is to bring that world to understandable life on screen..."

Unlike so many of the books that make it to the small screen, Mortal Engines did very well in my opinion. A key requirement for a book to make it as a movie is keeping the storyline as close as possible to it's origins. Mortal Engines achieved this goal with only minor tweeks to allow the screen time to fit the general length. The actress who played Hester Shaw was thr very embodiment of the character. Though her facial scar wasn't as near as hideous as described. A point of contention was the fact that Bevis and Catherine survived the movie while in the book they were killed in the destruction of Medusa.
