Today, we are talking about books that should be adapted into Netflix shows/movies
I don’t watch book adaptions usually. Most adaptions don’t appeal to me because I hate being disappointed when the movie doesn’t match my expectations but my taste in movies can be very different from what I like in books. So even if a book isn’t for me that doesn’t mean it can’t be a good movie for me. So this was a hard prompt for me. I did try to suspend disbelief and imagine a great adaption so in a perfect world these would all be amazing and match the books perfectly!
The Illuminae Files is more of it’s not you its me moment. I don’t love Sci-fi as a book but I love Sci-fi movies. I feel as a movie this would of captivated me but as a book I really wasn’t drawn into the plot until 3/4 of the way through.
I-Robot already has a movie clearly I even picked the cover with Will Smith on the cover, However, there is so much that wasn’t cover in the original movie and I really want to see more and if they could talk Will in to doing it to I wouldn’t be mad.
Captain Bluebear is the first book in the Zamoien series at least in the English translated version and even though this book is over 700 pages I read it in a day! This book reminded me of Dr Seuess in the way it was written and I was obsessed with it! I would love to see this in a visual format!
This book is probably going to be in my top 3 books of the year! It was so powerful and the subject matter and themes it talks about are so important. I know that people are loving it that are reading it and I just want it to get an even bigger audience and the easiest way to do that is to spread out to a different form of media. I would really worry that the “magic” of this book could be lost in translation but I would have my fingers crossed the whole time.
I still haven’t finished this book because I can already tell it is going to wreck me! I plan to add this to my TBR to finish but the part that I read was so amazing! I would love like a series on this where they took all the time they needed to hit you in the feels. I would need tissues and the next day off to wallow but I would love the shit out of this!
I’m thinking of the masses for this one crime series are huge so I think this would do really well. I love this series If you haven’t read it our main is a serial killer on a path of revenge falling in love with the FBI agent determined to catch her.
I read this years ago on Webtoons and it is now getting traditionally published so please check it out! The art is fabulous and the plot is amazing! I would love a animated version of this in the future!
I am in desperate need for more shows that feature mental illness and this is one of my favorite books dealing with mental illness. I’m not a own voice reviewer so I can’t say it has great rep but it hit a special place in my heart so I would love an adaption for it!
I love all of the books by Brian Selznick but this one has a very special place in my heart. This story reminds me of my grandfather and the stories he would tell so I would watch the shit out of it! I often read this book when I miss my grandpa so I would love to have a visual story to go with it!
You know how paranormal stories like to draw out a romance for seasons and seasons? Well this is the equivalent in book for however I really love the romance for this series. It was really realistic and cute. Besides that the characters and the word is really awesome so I would love a series for this book!
That’s it 10 books I wouldn’t mind an adaption for!
What books do you want an adaption for?
