This is not a novelty, large numbers of movies are from best-sellers and other novels, stories of love or thriller, to extend that attachment that has been established with the characters. Sometimes we are disappointed as we have loved the book, sometimes we leave the dark rooms as bewitched and even more enamored of our favorite characters. It's the magic of cinema. Generally, when one is conquered, it is because the film succeeded in retranscribing the images that one imagined, and not to flay the character traits of the characters. Returns on these successes:
