There is an art to turning a beloved book into a film or TV series, and some narratives more easily lend themselves to big-screen adaptations than others. In this episode, we chat with a few booklovers — Canyons Library Specialist Gretchen Zaitzeff and Corner Canyon High School Librarian Maria Jones — about their favorite adaptations. They discuss what sometimes gets lost in translation, and the age-old question of whether to read the book first, or whether it’s sometimes OK to start with the movie.
