Where the books are my favourite series, the movies are in my top aswell. I read a lot. Fact. And it's one of the only series that translates perfectly into cinema. There is slight variations on characters looks but the personalities and characteristics are spot on. There is very little difference in the overall plot aswell. Perfect!

It's a good show using the books as INSPIRATION
People need to realize that TV shows/movies are not the books on screen.
It uses the book as inspiration and makes its own world.

I loved Anne of Green Gables - all of them! I watch the original screen adaption and enjoyed it, so when I heard of Anne with an "E" I jumped to watch it.

It's different - I will give you that, but for me, it just gave me something I loved but more of it! It gave me a new look into that world. It helped me learn about Anne in a new way - which is honestly believable to me.

So yes, if you are expecting exactly what happens in the book, you'll be a little disappointed in parts, because that isn't what movies and books are.

The creator of this show took these books, took that foundation, and let their imagination run wild. And I love it!

Great dystopian world
I read this book some years ago, but it's one of those that kind of sticks with you. Especially in the crazy, chaotic world that we live in now, since around November 2016. This is the beginning of a dystopian trilogy that spawned a 4 part movie saga starring Jennifer Lawrence. If you haven't seen the movies, you should. They are pretty great and so are the books.

Just a suggestion here, why not add the ability to recommend similar movies, books, games etc to what you are reviewing. A box that would then serve as a link to those recommendations might help people find other items that they may enjoy. If a particular thing has multiple suggestions that it is similar to something that could then be added to the main page of the item. For example Gone girl might have a link to something like Girl on the Train.

Probably of more general use on the item page. Then if you are browsing, for example to find a film you u might want to watch now, you can go to one you have previoysly liked for suggestions.
