Sherlock is an interesting one. I've only read the first of the books/stories so I can't really add to the discussion too much. (I also saw the show first.)
I definitely preferred A Study in Pink to A Study in Scarlet. -As an aside: This is my favorite review of A Study in Scarlet. It's not mine, but it really hits the nail on the head about how I felt reading the story! https://www.goodreads.com/review/sho...on=true&page=1 It's still an adaptation, and from what I've seen thus far (and heard) it's actually more faithful than a lot of others. -- Bridget Jones' Diary was mentioned twice. I saw the movie first and have since seen it multiple times. (It's one of my bad day movies.) I did not like the book at all. I didn't like any of the characters in the book, but liked all of them in the movie. I haven't read the second book, but having read the first, I kind of get the weirdness that was the second movie. |

About that review in A Study in Scarlet, laughing at loud at this because it's so true: ![]() And with regards to the Bridget Jones diary, I was one of the people who agreed the movie is better than the book and will always consider it at that. Usually when I like the movies better, I opt to really separate it from the events/characters or from the book itself. |
