Weekly Meme: Book Blogger Hop: 2/18-2/21

Book Blogger Hop

Here’s my second time to join the Book Blogger Hop (via Crazy For Books blog) Thought this would be a good opportunity for me to connect with other book lovers out there in cyberspace 🙂 The Hop lasts Friday-Monday so there’ll be plenty of time to check the other participating blogs out!

So here’s the question of the week:

“What book(s) would you like to see turned into a movie?”

My answer:

I’d love to see Scott Westerfeld’s Leviathan turned into a movie (here’s my review of the book). It’s a YA steampunk fantasy set in an alternate WWI universe where the war is between Clankers (who use machine technology) versus Darwinists (who use advanced genetic techniques). I’d love to see how the world looks like in CGI - plus it features a budding romance between a young Prince Aleksandar and a young girl Deryn in the British Air Service who are both pretending to be people they are not 🙂

Actually, I’d love to see any of Scott Westerfeld’s YA books turned into movies, from his Midnighters series to the Uglies series (check out Scott Westerfeld’s bibliography for more). He’s one of the more talented YA authors out there.

And of course, I’m also looking forward to blog-hopping this weekend! 🙂

    Here thru the hop. I really need to read that book still, but anything steampunk would definitely make for a great movie. 🙂

    Have a great weekend!

    Your review of Leviathan sounds pretty interesting. I will add this book in my TBR pile.

    I’ve heard a lot of great things about Leviathan, and I think it’d be pretty stunning to see. Would you advocate for a complete CG film (a la Dreamworks or Pixar) or rather see CGI incorporated with live action (a la LotR or HP)?

      I think I’d prefer it live action with CGI - but maybe the production would have more freedom if they went completely cartoon. I don’t know, I guess I’d love to speculate which actors would play the characters 🙂

        Ah, yes, actors can often make or break a film. I think it also depends on how serious the material is. If it goes pure CG, it’s most definitely limited to a PG rating in order to play on kids’ love for animation. So a live-action film probably fits the tone better.

    Leviathan is on my wishlist. I want to see The Marble Faun made into a film. Come see why. Happy Blog Hop!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog. I still haven’t read any of Scott Westerfeld’s books. He’s been on my TBR list for a while; I just need to get to him. 🙂

    Love Leviathan and Behemoth. Maybe they’d make better animated movies though? I feel like the world is way too artful to ever get captured correctly in a movie.

    OOhhh Leviathon! I’ve been dying to start that series :)I’ve read a couple of his other YA books, and they stood out for being such unique, creative stories.

    Thanks for visiting!
