Confessions of Georgia Nicolson By Louise Rennison - BOOK OR MOVIE?

Time for me to determine once and for all which is better, the books or the movie for the Confessions of Georgia Nicolson series by Louise Rennison.

The books were very cute and entertaining, they really made you feel like you were going through the journey of growing up with Georgia. I laughed, I actually cried (when her cat, Angus, was hit by a car) and each book made me crave more.

The movie on the other hand was true to the books until about halfway through when it almost seemed like it was completely rewritten for screen. I think the movie was banking on the fact that fans of the Georgia Nicolson series of books would want to see the movie, but I feel like they disappointed its' true fans by straying so much from the plot. There were too many books in the series to be able to cram the whole story of Georgia Nicolson into one movie. Maybe that's where the makers of this movie went wrong.

My ratings for the books vs. the movie are as follows:
THE BOOKS: 8/10
THE MOVIE: 6/10

The Winner:
THE BOOKS

Confessions of Georgia Nicolson (adult) (Confessions of Georgia Nicolson)

What should I see/read next?

One of the features of my blog is the chance to determine what I review next. 

If there's a book, or a movie that you'd like to see reviewed, please leave a comment telling me what the book is, who the author is, and whether or not you'd like me to read the book or see the movie first. 

Please also send me your email address so that I can notify you when I've posted a review on your book/movie.

Welcome!

So I've decided to write a blog.... So you're wondering, what have I got to offer you? Well, after countless times of begging my fiancĂ© to wait to see a movie "until I've read the book", I've decided to share my opinion of which is truly better The Book, Or, The Movie. 

In this blog I hope to strike up conversation, and share my opinion as to whether or not the story is captured better in the book, or in Hollywoods adaptation of it. So far, personally, I think the books have got it stacked. 

I invite you to comment on any of my posts and share your opinion as well since my interpretations may differ from your own. I also warn you in advance that my entries may include some spoilers. 

So for all of you literary buffs and movie buffs alike, let's finally find an answer to this "chicken or the egg" argument, and discover which one is better, THE BOOK, OR, THE MOVIE.
