This post is mostly going to be random. I am going to discuss the positives and negatives of book to movie adaptations. Many movies popular at the cinema started of life in books; from Harry Potter to the Hunger Games and many other examples where books are made into movies. Some books make good movies and some do not. However, I intend to list the good points and then the bad points about book to movie adaptations.

Positives

• Advertises the book, which in turn gets more people to read. For example, the Lord of the Rings movies encouraged more people to try out the books.
• Provides a visual representation of the world described in the book. 
• Some books are poorly written but have a good plot which are more suited to the movie format.
• Stories become accessible to those who struggle to read or lack the ability to imagine the story taking place in their head.

Negatives

• Can encourage people to be lazy and take the attitude that there is no need to read a book as it will probably get made into a movie.
• Movie adaptations are not always true to the book.
• Can cause books to be over hyped and make more people over critical of certain books. For example, some people mock Harry Potter when they forget that the intended audience are younger readers. 

Hope you have enjoyed reading this post. Personally I support the adaptation of books into movies.
