I actually liked the movie more, I guess because I saw it prior to reading the book? Gave the book full rating on goodreads for I realise the impact it had but for a modern reader it doesn't stand so tall in its own right IMO. I'd have to look up my review to recall precisely what my issues were but it was mostly the pseudoscience and some worldbuilding stuff.

Not a movie, but the Witcher. Whenever they keep to book plot, the series is good but they just messed up the lore with them nonsense monoliths, yen loosing her powers, that baba yaga shit and much more... They had a blueprint for sucess but were so arrogant that they thought they could do better. Kind of sad we are not getting a good adaptation so I guess I'll just munch on popcorn and watch how the whole thing crumbles to the ground. The prequel series is already an abysmal mess

Reply to Which book would you choose if you could only read one for the rest of your life? by NubbyNob
The lord of the rings. I have the red edition which is all of tje 3 books in one package, so it isn't cheating. Come to think of I also jave the complett sherlock holmes in a single package, but I'd still go with the LOTR.

Reply to Why I stopped using Goodreads by [deleted]
I use goodreads to keep count, but I am not really affected by it to the point of finishing a book being more important than the booknitself. I feel like the ratings are misleading. People can read a slog with exciting last 50 pages and they will rate it highly because the last thing they remember is that last part. I guess that's why mistborn is so popular. I admit, the endings are thrillimg but the buildup did little for me in book 2 and 3. The 1st was OK.
