Listeners respond: what are the best movie versions of books?
Yesterday, we asked listeners to tell us what movie version of a book they like better than the book itself. Many of you responded with answers ranging from the classic “Shawshank Redemption” to the movie based on the graphic novel, “Persepolis.” Some of you thought movies can simplify a book’s sprawling plot, and others felt movies breathed life into their favorite characters. Listen to what listeners had to say and add your own!
The story you just read is available for free because thousands of listeners and readers like you generously support our nonprofit newsroom. Every day, reporters and producers at The World are hard at work bringing you human-centered news from across the globe. But we can’t do it without you: We need your support to ensure we can continue this work for another year.
