About
If you think about it, books are potential script's for movies. When these adaptations happen typically it's disappointing because they went Offscript. Have you ever thought about all the different movie and book adaptations out there? Wanted to compare the two but don't have time to do it? Well we do it for you! We start from the start of the book and go to the end, discussing whether or not the movie got it right, or if they went Offscript. Follow along as Alli & Bri discuss a different book vs movie comparison each week!
