Listeners respond: what are the best movie versions of books?

The World

Yesterday, we asked listeners to tell us what movie version of a book they like better than the book itself. Many of you responded with answers ranging from the classic “Shawshank Redemption” to the movie based on the graphic novel, “Persepolis.” Some of you thought movies can simplify a book’s sprawling plot, and others felt movies breathed life into their favorite characters. Listen to what listeners had to say and add your own!
