### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    The best book on adaptation
  

*by H***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 January 2016*

I have to assess books for adaptation for work and bought two books on the subject to give me things to think about. One was this one, the other was 'How To Adapt Anything Into A Screenplay'.This is easily the more useful book, with a much more considered approach to adaptation and food for thought. The other book is anecdotal and quite prescriptive.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    An Excellent Book on Adaptation
  

*by D***A on Reviewed in the United States on 21 April 2008*

Historically, more than 75 percent Academy Award and Emmy Award-winning films have been  adaptations of novels, short stories, plays, nonfiction books, and articles.Linda Seger sets the tone of THE ART OF ADAPTATION on the opening page: "In spite of what we may think, there is no such thing as an easy adaptation. We've probably all heard people say, `All you have to do is film the book,' Francis Ford Coppola tried that with the 1974 version of `The Great Gatsby,' and it failed. Others say, `This was immensely popular it's bound to be a blockbuster.' `Bonfire of the Vanities' was a best-seller, but the film was panned."With exceptional lucidity, the author explains the issues and solutions in adaptations from fact and fiction into film. The book includes two detailed examples of successful adaptations: E. M. Foster's novel "A Room with a View" and Andrew Lloyd Webber's play "The Phantom of the Opera." Other examples include "Gone With the Wind," "It's a Wonderful Life," "Deliverance," "Dances With Wolves," " Silence of the Lambs."This was the first Linda Seger screenwriting book I read. Impressed, I went on to study three more: "Creating Unforgettable Characters"; "Making a Good Script Great"; "Advanced Screenwriting." Each of them a five-star book.-- C J Singh
