Recenzii
"One of relatively few textbooks that I can imagine undergraduates, studying modules in film or literary adaptation, really wanting to possess... the book is genuinely covetable because of the amount of stimulation it packs into such an accessible form... Best of all is McFarlane's authorial voice, enthusiastic, avuncular, occasionally anecdotal, opinionated but somehow balanced.. At Masters level, there is enough material here to speak at least a couple of seminars and debates... There is also enough to tempt the general reader, and keep him or her reading..."
'This is one of relatively few textbooks that i can imagine undergraduates, studying modules in film or literary adaptation, really wanting to possess.'
[The Screen Adaptations series] offers some meaty ideas to film studies students.
