Is the book really better than the movie? Find out for yourself with these recently-released film adaptations and the books they’re based on. Check out the book, then check out the DVD – not necessarily in that order.
If this is your idea of a good time, join us for our “From Story to Film” club, where we meet for a book discussion and then meet again to watch the movie adaption together. Coming up in August: Little Women!
See our Events calendar for more information.
