Love the book. Tolerate the movie.

Reel Literature is the book blog giving the how and why the book is ALWAYS better than its movie adaptation because just like you fellow bibliophile, we hate when movies ruin our favorite books too! It doesn’t matter if the book is based on true events, like The Blind Side, the New York Times bestseller, Gone Girl, a children’s book classic called The Lorax, the beloved YA read The Book Thief, or high school reading list staple Lord of the Flies, the movie will rarely capture the true essence of the book. Don’t believe us? Then, check out our book and movie reviews!

Want more than reviews? We’ve got you covered! Chat with us about our favorite book quotes in the Reel Lit Quotefest. In Features, we explore our creative side on various bookish and pop culture topics. We analyze Harry Potter, share DIY Halloween costumes for the bookish spirit, take a BuzzFeed Quiz or five, and “read” Jane Eyre. PLUS! Be in the know of bookish holidays, author birthdays, upcoming movie adaptations, and new books for your TBR List with Literary News!
