Inkheart

Saturday, August 28th 2010

Dayna took off to see a movie with her friend K.  That left me all along to go food shopping and read.  I began reading Inheart by Cornelia Funke.  It starts off different from the movie.  Dustfinger goes to Mo and Meggie's house to warn him of Capricorn trying to find him.  They run the next morning to Aunt Elinor's in Italy.  Dustfinger accompanies them.

In the movie, it starts off with Mo and Meggie in the van searching bookstores for a copy of Inkheart.  Dustfinger finds Meggie outside one while Mo is in the store.  I'm excited to see what other differences there are.

It seems lately that all the good movies are based on books.  That's great news for bookworms like me and Dayna.  I'm sure it helps motivate people to read, too.  I guess Hollywood has trouble finding good screenplays.  Are we running out of creative ideas?  Have they all been used up so the writers have run dry?  Or has modern technology caused a total lack of imagination in today's generation?

I finished Inkheart.  It was quite different from the movie.  The same basic plot, of course, but so many differences.  I'm going to have to watch the movie again to catch them all.  I borrowed the rest of the series from the library, Inkspell and Inkdeath.  I also borrowed the rest of the Wicked Lovely series.  I'm bouncing between the two.
