PROS
E People lead busy lives these
days. They don't want to spend
a week reading a novel when
they can watch the film version
in two hours. It's a question of
convenience.
F Some screen adaptations are
good, others are bad, but the
main point about them is that
they increase choice. You can
read the book first and then see
the film… see the film, then
read the book… just read the
book.. just see the film. What's
wrong with choice? Nobody's
forced to watch screen adapta-
tions.
CONS
E Adaptation suits books with a very dy-
namic plot and a strong visual element
– Jurassic Park, for example – but it
doesn't suit more complex literary fic-
tion. There are vital differences, in
other words, between a novel and a
script.
F Adaptations have an unfair influence on
the book industry. OK, they turn a cer-
tain number of novels into bestsellers,
but what about the hundreds of other
books, excellent books, which are ig-
nored simply because they haven't been
filmed?
G A really bad screen version of your fa-
vourite book can ruin the original novel
for you.
