Description
edit - Alternate version: Don't judge a movie by its book as requested by =Aquarior .edit - Changed the font.
I read that sentence into a Reader's Digest and I thought it would make a nice stamp.
Then I discovered that somebody had already done a similar stamp here , but I decided to submit this one anyway.

edit - Thanks to everybody who faved this. I've stopped thanking you all on your profile because it was starting to take a lot of time.

I have a question: Can you make another stamp just like this, but with the text "DON'T JUDGE A MOVIE BY ITS BOOK"? When I read the negative reviews for a movie, most of them are complaints of the kind "Waaah, they did not put every single line from the book into the movie!". Which really annoys me, since the only way to get 100% of the book consists in actually reading it. A movie is an entirely separate artwork that follows different rules. So the book can be better or worse than the movie, which is why I need both stamps

It's really decent of you to have shared the [link] to the other deviation, the stamp quite similar to this one. When I see people do things like that, it tells me a bit about the person - you're good<.b> people, as my family used to tell me when I was growing up.
I think both are good, thank you for creating and then posting this for us. (:

Exactly, my friend. I'm tired of people watching movies and then hating on the books. |81

When I see this...I think of The Tale Of Desperaux

So true. Loved the Harry Potter books but hated the movies.

I agree with this statement. So many great books that the movies made look like crap.

I have to agree with this, but The Boy in Striped Pajamas movie was muuuuch better than the book.

Look what they did to every single Harry Potter in existence - with the exception of the Goblet Of Fire, which had a good movie but a terrible book.

I think it's mainly that there was so much information in the books that was in a way influencial to the plot, that by cutting to make the movie short enough, the story had gaping plot holes and didn't really make sense anymore. I pity anyone who saw the movies without reading the books.
But by reading the books before, I think it's possible to enjoy the special effects and the visual designs of the characters and the beautiful castle, since you don't have to worry about understanding the plot.

Yeah, and it's always amaze me when people who havent read the books can enjoy the movies? Howcome they understand the story when there are those plot holes everywhere? Well, I guess
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, with the last Harry Potter movies, I wonder how people who haven't read the books understood everything.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
YES. So true. I mean, look at what they did to Breaking Dawn.... No, never mind, don't look, unless you've read the book, otherwise, you'll be turned off to it.

Ex-Twilight fan, but really curious to see just how they passed a PG-13 rating on that movie...I read all the books and don't know how they got away with it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah...but they did. 
Best example(to my knowledge) of a book-movie transition gone BAD.... And I'm sure it depends on WHO makes the movie. I mean, look at The Lord Of The Rings; those people did superbly.... But then again, those are some pretty awesome books, too...far better than the Twilight or Harry Potter books, by my opinion.

I've actually never read Lord of the Rings, but I do hate bad book->movie transitions.

But you know when a movie from a book is GOOD then the book must be EPIC!
Like Stephen King's "The Stand" was good in both formats. :]

I think I received a couple comments higher up on this stamp saying some movies were better than their books, probably because they got to the point better. A good movie could just mean it was well adapted from a crappy book.
Though in the case of Stephen King, you're pretty much guaranteed that the book's good.

That is SO FREAKING TRUe!!!!!!! MOVIES SCREw UP THE BOOkS SO EFFING BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good stamp. I'm not at all interested in Eragon, but I find the movie hilarious. I only watch it with Rifftrax, so it's one of my favorite comedies.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Seriously. I first watched Eragon and thought that the book's would've sucked. Then I picked one up, and I was like "Dude! This is epic!"

The movie disappointed me so much. Nothing like the books.

If I had seen the Percy Jackson movie before I read the books I probably would never had read them.

Unfortunately, a lot of people probably did that.

Absolutely true! argh so many people ditch the books because the movies are totally horrible. It makes me really, really annoyed. This stamp is really good! I like how you twisted "don't judge a book by its cover" into this- very nice

Faving this for when Skulduggery Pleasant becomes a movie. If it ever does, that is.

someone needs to start a group by this line, pointing out the differences between the books and the movies

Ooh, that'd be interesting.

That is often part of the Wikipedia article to a movie

Thank You 
It's annoying sometimes... because some movies aren't like the book...
Like Percy Jackson

I love accuracy.

Or, for that matter, a movie by it's book.

Yep. It works both if the movie is better or worse.
