Books and movies in one basket !
"The Hunger Games taught me to never give up the ones I love. Harry Potter taught me that love and friendship can defeat all evil. Divergent taught me that it is a good thing to be different. Percy Jackson taught me that there is a hero in evryone of us."
Another cardboard box office , the bestselling Stephenie Meyer, Twilight. The saga vampire literature has earned $ 1.3 billion in total revenue in five films .
In France , the phenomenon is accompanied by another : the publication and reading of works in the original version.
As regards the trilogy Divergent, it has sold 11 million copies in the United States . In France , the first volume has sold 80,000 copies , the second at 60,000 and as the third of which is due out May 15 , they should enjoy the movie effect. Teenagers do not read this book for its literary style , but for the story that resonates in them. The author, Veronica Roth , depicts a teenager ordered to make a choice that will determine his future life. It evokes all that is the salt of this age : the desire for transgression , the need for adrenaline , instinct clan , awakening love a warrior and subversive mode. In this war of genres, it is indeed a heroine who pulls out of the game , hands and muscles. What pleases especially girls , usually less inclined to love novels ( and films) action .
Such as Divergent, The Mortal Instruments, are one of the most popular books of those ten years. It represent person who feel different and finally found a place where they can understand their stories. A story which allows us to understand who we are, where we are and why !
I don' t know if adapting books into movies is a good idea ... I can't make up my mind! First, I am often disappointed about adaptations in films from the original books. Then I 'm not sure that it pushes young people to read ... Or maybe it's the opposite!
