Now I know that this is not the book I am currently
reading but I really wanted top blog about this. Plus, I just watched the movie…
I read
Silver Linings Playbook by Mathew
Quick in Best Sellers last trimester. I absolutely LOVED it! It was so
different from what I usually read. I am usually into fantasy, not realistic
fiction. But, never the less, it was great, so read it!
Over
the weekend I watched the movie version of the book. You know the one; it has
everyone’s favorite loud mouthed, bird whistling actress, Jennifer Lawrence. Now,
I don’t usually read that much and the books I read are never movies. So, when I
went to see The Hunger Games with my friends, forever ago, and they were all
talking about what the book had that the movie didn’t. They were all freaking
out for stupid reasons like, the cornucopia was supposed to be gold. Naturally,
I thought they were just being picky and annoying like friends are. But when I saw
Silver Linings Playbook, I finally felt their pain.
Don’t
get me wrong, the movie was great and it was hilarious. But it was so different
from the book. I found myself picking out stupid things that bothered me, like
the fact that they danced to the wrong song and Pat actually saw and talked to
Nikki in the movie!
I have
to say, if you asked me to pick which one was better, I would have to say both.
Though there were some major differences, they both were equally funny and
unique. It also got me thinking, who would want to watch the exact same thing
they read? Wouldn’t that just be like watching re-runs of a TV show?
Here
is the diner scene from the movie if you all want to have just a little taste
of what the movie was like…
That was hilarious
