PEOPLE OFTEN SAY THE BOOK IS BETTER!
How many times have you heard someone say "you should read the book first" when referring to a movie or TV show based on a book? Most of the time we agree. Although, once in a while, a film is so well done that it equals or goes beyond the quality of the book it is based upon, and we've decided to call such films "AGAB's". We'll be listing those films, and the corresponding books as we recommend them. You can find the current list of AGAB's HERE: For now, here are the books which some of our recommendations are based upon. Also, you may want to check out books which are currently being adapted to film HERE. |
