I'm kind of glad you did, since it allows me to ask, without mucking up the draft thread......
When you read something like this, a book where you get such strong pictures in your mind, and the sound of voices, or even the pronunciations of word/names/places, would rather they were never adapted to movies?
I've wondered if a large reason movie adaptations rarely work (well, outside of needing to pare the story down to fit into a movie's length) is that a large part of a well written story is the picture the author can create in your mind's eye. When it is put into film, then it is someone else's interpretation, and it often doesn't fit as well as your own.
Just a thought.
