I'm so glad to hea...Jord, you just made my day! I'm so glad to hear that I am not the only person who has read The 5th Wave that enjoyed the novel, except for the very infuriating and unoriginal ending! <br /><br />I would love to see some new faces! (I would totally support you being cast in a YA adaption film, especially if you can get me on set) lol ;) I don't mind all that much, except for the Divergent and The Fault in Our Stars one, I agree with you that it is a little creepy.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03788568691345783808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3189634640949482827.post-78596341236305847112014-04-23T21:16:37.511-05:002014-04-23T21:16:37.511-05:00They're making a movie adaption of The 5th Wav...They're making a movie adaption of The 5th Wave?! Ohh that will be interesting. Have you read the book? I liked the beginning of it but hated the end and only skim read it. I really like Chloe Grace Moretz though so I'm interested in seeing this one. I saw the trailer for If I Stay the other day; it made me cry haha. I haven't read the book though but I want to see this movie. She looks so good in it!<br /><br />Although I do have to be honest that I too am getting annoyed that they seem to be casting the same actors in all of the YA movie adaptions. I mean casting the brother and sister in Divergent as lovers in The Fault in Our Stars that releases so soon afterwards seems wrong. I'll still probably see that movie though. I find it funny because Zoey Deutch was in Beautiful Creatures then starred as the lead in VA (I wonder if that killed her YA to movie career?), Shailene Woodley was the lead in Divergent and also in The Fault in Our Stars (She feels like shes the new 'it' girl of hollywood though!), and now Chloë Grace Moretz is the lead in If I Stay <i>and</i> The 5th Wave? It would be nice to see some new faces! They need to mix it up, it will get boring and repetitive if they carry this on...<br /><br />You're right, more and more books are being made into movies! I feel like Hollywood doesn't want to take a chance on original screen plays anymore, they just don't want to risk the film bombing and losing money because the whole story wasn't strong enough. Books are definitely the best to make into films because all of the hard work is already done, the authors already created the world and the characters and the story, and if the book did well there's a chance the movie could do well - unless they butcher it like they did VA. And even if the movie doesn't do amazing the people that loved the book will still see it so they know they already have some sort of fan base there. I want in on this action haha, someone needs to cast me in a YA adaption film!<br /><br /><a href="http://missbookreviews.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">Jord @ Miss Book Reviews</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3189634640949482827.post-42511285404763882832014-04-23T17:00:33.875-05:002014-04-23T17:00:33.875-05:00I totally agree...I'm starting to get a little...I totally agree...I'm starting to get a little worried that all YA books to movie adaptations are going to feature the same freaking people over and over again. (If it helps, I have not seen vampire academy and since you have convinced me to read the books I don't plan to see it.)<br /><br />Oh romance covers, how I laugh at thee.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03788568691345783808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3189634640949482827.post-4562264909809386182014-04-23T16:58:59.173-05:002014-04-23T16:58:59.173-05:00I just found out about The 5th Wave, I had no idea...I just found out about The 5th Wave, I had no idea either!<br /><br />Sadly, I was the same way.

I have nothing against Chloe, or that Shae girl but I don't want to see them in every YA movie. And I still have to read Gone Girl... <br /><br />Why are romance covers so horribly cheesy?

Now I want to read it even more. <br /><br />And I've been meaning to read some of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's books for the longest time -- it's such a shame that it's taken the news of his death to put them back on my radar. I am sure his legacy will live on a very long time.
