Thriller Novels Are Good Films And Fantastic Books

By Stephen Lee


Today's hectic lifestyle leaves little time to relax with a book. Intent and television have replaced the humble printed word and video games are more likely than a book. People are still writing and there is plenty to be found on the internet. Thriller novels are great favorites and often get made into films.

The best writers in this genre often get offered a film deal. The thrillers develop a story makes them easily adapted for cinema. There is normally a handsome hero or beautiful heroine as well as tension, romance and gun battles. Most producers make reasonable adaptations and the result is good entertainment. In a lot of cases however, the book is still more gripping than the film.

When you read a novel you can immerse yourself in the narrative and conjure up your own image of the hero or heroine. A well written novel will have descriptions that leave you in no doubt about the beauty of the scenery without having to see it. In the same way you can imagine the mutilated corpse without the need for special effects and fake blood.

Many authors will produce a whole series of books based on the same main character. This character can become almost a real person as you learn what drives them and can picture them in your minds eye. The dark haired lady detective or the loan wanderer constantly finding trouble have been so well described they are firmly imprinted on your mind.

When a well loved character is transferred to the silver screen sometimes the casting seems a little odd if you have read the books. The five foot three actor might bring in a good audience, but the character is clearly described as being a foot taller. The bad guy should be Irish not have an Australian accent. These deviations from the original can make you wonder if the producers have even read the book.

Bringing a great book to the movie screen can bring a new audience to the original author. Enjoying a film can lead people to seek out previous or following works. Bringing people to books is excellent however it happens. It is well known that reading can improve spelling, literacy and is a great way to learn about other countries and cultures.

Most books are now available through online booksellers in both hardcopy and for e-readers. Many sites offer a synopsis of the plot and reviews from other readers. For those purchasing s e-book you might even be able to download the first chapter as a preview. You will also be recommended other material you might like.

There are many applications that can be downloaded to your phone or tablet so you can red anywhere anytime. Some of the sites offering e-books will offer new authors work free so that they and the author can get feedback. Classic books that are no longer copyrighted can also be found. Some of the best thrillers are ones written in the 19th century.
