Great adaptation of the book, incredibly sad
Having just finished reading the book, it's interesting to see the vast differences between the film version and the novel. It is a harrowing tale of a mother being locked up in a shed for seven years by a predator, during which time she gives birth to a son. At five they make a daring escape, and the story is in the perspective of the little boy seeing the world for the first time. The film does a good job of adapting it to the screen, which means they've shortened the story and changed quite a lot of details to avoid it becoming overly long. Still a tremendous watch.

I had watched the series and was intrigued to hear the story from Piper's POV, in her own words. There are scenes in the series taken right out of the book, word for word, but there were a lot of differences as well.

Piper is portrayed in the show as a selfish jerk. In the book, she was the complete opposite. I get that drama has to be added in order to make the show more appealing, but the story as told in the book is an interesting insight into this woman who, through stupid choices in her youth, was incarcerated and faced with the harsh realities of life in prison and the struggles of her fellow inmates.

Happy Death Day (2017)
2017 | Horror, Mystery, Thriller
Other films have tried to do the time loop plot, most successful was if course Groundhogs Day, which gets a pretty cute shout out in this film, but those other films did not have the cleverness of this film. By taking a horror plotline and injecting some dark humor and murder mystery, Happy Death Day becomes a refreshing, darkly comic, at times truly suspenseful horror film. The repeated day is done each new reset with a slightly different visual take, enough differences to keep it from being boring. The reveal of the killer was extremely shocking, at least to this reviewer. If you enjoy dark comedy and horror in the same movie I highly recommend this film

I read 13 reasons why last summer and watched the tv show and there are some major differences between the book and show. But I loved them both equally. 13 reasons why talks about a few different issues that nobody talks about. It gives me something to think about when it comes to friends, family, and people that I don't even talk to. These are important topics that we should be talking about not just talking for five minutes about then drop the conversation but really really talk about it. Overall I loved the book and the show so much so i gave it a 10/10. I loved it a lot
