What do you usually do when you hear about a movie based on an interesting book? Do you read the story first or watch the film? As a matter of fact, do you read the book at all?? When it comes to me, I have to admit that sadly it more often depends on time. There are plenty of books that are worth reading but yet there are lots of things to be done and our days just won’t extend over 24 hours (pity…). It’s the same with Manuals. We all know, we should read them but: a) There’s never enough time left, b) They are always too boring.
The worst “movie based on an interesting book” I have ever seen is Brave New World. I think Huxley would have sued the producers if he lived now.

I do not watch it.
