A good adaptation of my favorite book in the series.

A Storm of Swords is the best book in George R. R. Martin's series. The Red Wedding is wonderfully depicted and translated well to the screen.  Even if you know what is going to happen (I have read the books) seeing it on screen is still shocking.

This book lives up to the expectations of the series.

This was a pretty good adaption of the tie-in book to Stephen King's Rose Red. It's always interesting to see a movie adaption of a book. It sticks pretty well to it's source material, it doesn't go as in depth as the book. All that said, for those who want to have the film version companion I highly recommend it.

This series is a adequate adaptation of the Sharpe's novels.  Not the detail that those of us who read it enjoy, but it brings the action to life.

I like this book a little better than the Feast of the Drowned, but still overall it's a good representation of the series and of the characters.  I will be ordering more books to read for sure.

I watched this adaptation shortly after finishing the book. Overall, I thought it was an above average production, and enjoyed many parts of it very much. I appreciated the picturesque atmosphere and beauty of the film - it definitely captures the whimsical nature of the book. Also, all of the actors and actresses did a great job! Quilp in particular was super duper creepy.
 I was disappointed at the emission of some of the smaller plot lines featuring Kit and Dick.  In my opinion, there could have been a few less shots of Nell and Grandfather rambling contentedly about the countryside, and a few more of the entertaining instances with these two delightful characters.
 All in all, I think that the minor complaints I do have are with the way the story was adapted, not with the way the adaptation was carried out. Nicely made and all in all an enjoyable experience!

I became interested in this series because of the movie that was being made based on the books. I enjoy reading books about werewolves, vampires and magical things. This book reminds of the c.s. Lewis series in some ways. Cassandra Clare offers a little bit of something for everybody, there is a hint of romance mixed with the fantasy elements as well as a storyline of the coming of age teen story. I can identify with the main character Clary and she has many things going on in her life. I was very pleased with the story line of the book and the way it was adapted in to a movie, I think the movie was pretty true to the book. I am now hooked on the whole series and discovering what happens to clary and the other characters. City of ashes grabbed me from the first words and made me glad for picking up the book.

I enjoy watching the adaptation to Daphne Du Maurier's Jamaica Inn as much as I did reading the book.

okay, sure, it was a little different from the books...but honestly, what show/movie isn't? the casting though is what makes this stand out as one of the better adaptations. 2/3 of the casting was perfect which is why I give this 4 out of 5 stars.

Film adaptations of phenomenal books very rarely live up to the nuances and depth of the written word. So much has to be cut or adapted to fit the time frame of a movie or TV show. I think the directors and screenwriters tried to do justice to the magic that is Louise Penny's Three Pines and and Chief Inspector Gamache and company. It is not exactly portrayed as each reader imagines it to be, but it does a very good job of bringing the series to life. I did not envision Gamache as looking at all like Nathaniel Parker--more like a younger, taller David Suchet, perhaps, but I am getting used to Parker in the role. I look forward to future adaptations of this amazing, wonderful, moving series. Well worth watching--yes, the scenery sings, but the characters also come alive. Give the directors and screenwriters and actors and filmmakers time to build Louise Penny's world--I think they have made a promising start.

This wrapped up the series in a nice way. I found the story dragged at points and would've liked to have know more about Peter's parents and what happened to them. Umbra is quite annoying here and his return dampens the previous book. It was sad and refreshing that the Lost Boys returned to civilzation and were replaced. This series could be a good adaptation on the silver screen with the right director and actors. Not saying Harry Potter level but better than Percy Jackson or Eragon. Not a bad book but not as whimiscal as the previous book. A must for a fan of the series. It is well acted and dictated.

I loved the series, so was a bit loathe to read the novelization. This was a surprisingly fun novel to read-- and I was sorry that it ended.

This was a pretty faithful adaptation of the book, and the casting and direction seem spot on.  Getting to watch this for free over Amazon Prime streaming is a great feature of the program.  The HD stream was very good visual quality.

I read the books this series was based on and I thought this represented the books nicely. I loved it and will probably revisit it in the future.
