Dont get me wrong, i do know that Game of Thrones is book and was adapted later but what I do wanna say is that I wish all the books have been published and then the series had been released. so that we could read the books too. cause the series ending was trash.

The A-list! i think it wouldbve worked out well as a book. especially since some of the scenes felt weird acted out, and so was the dialouge. but if it was a book it wouldnt feel as forced. but thats just my opinion

The book adaptation of Stranger Things, one of my all-time favorite Netflix series, is something I'm not sure about yet. However, I've never had the opportunity to browse a real copy of the book. I wish it had been published as a book first so that I could fully experience and appreciate the magnitude of its plot first before the many.

The series "True Story" it will have been a great book because it's more realistic and more likely to be reality

Actually, I do wish that too. I loved the series, if I could also read it too, that would have been great

Gravy wrote: 03 Dec 2015, 01:10 The title kind of says it all. A lot of us have books we'd like to see turned into movies, and sometimes movies/TV series get turned into books (Doctor Who or Star Trek, anyone?), but what movie or TV series do you wish had been a book first?

For me I'd probably list Avatar, and Inception...though I'm sure I'll think of more :D
For me, I feel if [Ninty Minutes at Entebbe] was to be a book, it would have been the best book that highlighted the tyranny and torments of citizens under a bad ruler as seen in Uganda under Idi Amin. The movie was powerful and a clear narrator of the plights of children and the innocent. Child soldiering is not an act of humanity.
