"For film buffs and literature lovers alike, this is an essential guide to 52 great reads, and the cinema classics they inspired"-- Provided by publisher.

You loved the movie-- but have you read the book? Lopez looks at beloved screen adaptations, and the great reads that inspired them. Some diverge wildly from the original source materials, while others shift the point of view to create an entirely different experience within the same story. In exploring what makes these works classics of both the page and screen, Lopez shows why each made for an exceptional adaptation. -- adapted from back cover
