Writing

I just recently had an example of this. Several years ago I saw the film "Winter's Bone," which I thought was really wonderful. Then a few weeks ago I happened to read the book by Daniel Woodrell. It was so good I turned around and read it again immediately. I loved the book so much I figured I would watch the movie again, so I Netflixed it.

I could not believe what a dim, disappointing, dull, sad, cliched, stereotyped, stilted, almost pointless, affair the movie seemed to be in contrast to the book. And this was even though I had originally thought the movie was really interesting and gripping. It was a very good movie. It simply did not hold a candle to the book.
