Lately I have been working through the Bourne series by Robert Ludlum. It has been an enjoyable series, just three books, but fun. There are more, but they are written by someone else and aren't as good, so I am just reading the original three. I started them because I enjoyed the movies, and thought the books would be good. Well, they are good, and have just about nothing to do with the movie. In fact they are so far removed from the plot you have to ask how they can even have the same name. Both are fine in their own right, but they aren't the same.
I see the same thing over and over with when books get made into movies. There are some exceptions like Harry Potter and the godawful Twilight stuff, then you have things like Cheaper By The Dozen where the movie has just about nothing to do with the book. I guess I just don't understand why people use book names for movies. Oh well.
