    I like the Exorcist, the Godfather, the Hobbit and Alice in Wonderland but I love Silence of the Lambs and Jaws

    The Exorcist is another one of those books where the movie only enhances it. When I read it, it was almost as scary as the movie but in a different way. I think the movie overshadows how good the book is. I have the Godfather, bought it last year, might do a movie and book review together when I read it. If you like a thinking man's vampire story, then I am Legend is your book. Really good story about survival and loneliness. Great lead character. If people are on the fence about Mice and Men, they should give it a try. The 1992 movie is a faithful adaptation. The actress Sherylyn Fenn actually liked my comment on Instagram about the movie. She has been my only movie star crush since high school so I was pretty excited when she commented. Read Silence of the Lambs last year and Clarice Starling is one of my all time favorite characters. Hardworker in the book and movie. Confession time: I stole Jaws from Room 217 when I stayed at the Stanley. They had a bunch of books and I couldn't resist it. But I did leave a book, so I guess it's even. Read The Hobbit in 1992 and had to talk my teacher into putting it on the reading list for credit. We'll see what you have for the top 10. 10-20 I had read quite a few so we have similar tastes.

      @@someothercharacter Two people that have TH-cam channels did a review of the Exorcist that didn't like the book. Both of them haven't seen the movie. I think that if you want to truly enjoy it you got to see the movie. I love that book because I love that movie. What a great performance by Linda Blair. The scariest 12 year old girl ever! It would be great to see you do a Godfather movie/book review. I would definitely enjoy seeing that. I Am Legend is great one. The second time I read it it hit me that Adam Neville was the villain of the story. I didn't realize that the first time. The part with the dog broke my heart. Of Mice and Men also broke my heart. That ending was a hit in the gut. I hope I can get a chance to see the 1992 adaptation. I love that story and wouldn't mind seeing it again. You know the first video I saw on your channel was the Silence of the Lambs Ranking every stare Clarice receives. That was a great video. I know how much you love that movie. I totally agree. It is a fantastic movie! Jaws has been a favorite of mine for the longest time. I was blown away by that book and I still am. The Hobbit is another one that is outstanding. I love that story. The cartoon is better than all three of the Peter Jackson Hobbit movies combined. It is a fantastic cartoon. The music in it is great. The Greatest Adventure song is wonderful. Yes we do enjoy a lot of the same movies and books. It is nice to know someone who shares the same interests. Thank you for watching and your wonderful comments. It is awesome to have you here!

    I Am Legend is interesting in that with all the adaptions that have been made, not one seems to actually be accurate to the book, which is a shame as that was a great ending that Mathieson wrote. Jaws is one where I have to admit that I prefer the film over the book s the characters we far more likeable than in the book. Hobbit is the best kids book ever and I will fight people on that 🤣
    Exorcist movie didn’t scare me but I did like it, looking forward to getting to the book. Alice in Wonderland is something I’ve been trying to get to forever, one day I’ll get to it. Of Mice and Men is one I definitely want to read, we didn’t have required reading at my school so I’ve never gotten to it, hopefully I'll like it more as a adult then I would of as a kid. Silence of the Lambs movie is great, still can’t believe that Hannibal isn’t even on screen that much.
    And next will be “The Final Countdown” 🥳

      @@jenniparks8539 The Last Man on Earth is pretty close. It is closer that the other two that I know of. However I like all three but I love the book. Jaws is a fantastic movie. The characters are great in that movie. The affair of Hooper and Brody's wife is very raunchy but I still love the book. I love the book and the movie about the same. Both are fantastic in my opinion. The Hobbit is absolutely wonderful. It is an amazing adventure. I love so many parts in that story. Every part of that book is great. I can see why you call it the best book ever. It is a fantastic book.
      If you like the Exorcist movie you should like the book. The book follows the movie very well. There are some differences but movie is a lot like the book. Alice in Wonderland is a lot like the Hobbit where every part in it is great. The imagination in that book is wonderful. Through the Looking Glass is great as well. Just about all copies have that included with Alice in Wonderland. It really is a great book. Of Mice and Men is even better when you are an adult. If books can make you cry this one will do that. It is a fantastic book and it will not take a long time to read. It is a very short book that will stay with you a long time after you read it. If you like or love Silence of the Lambs you will feel the same about the book. That book is fantastic just like the movie is fantastic. Hannibal Lecter is a great character. The parts about Buffalo Bill are gripping and interesting. You should like it when you get around to reading it.
      Thank you for your comments. It is great to hear how you feel about these books. You have some great books to look forward to. Thank you for watching. It is wonderful to have you here!
