Hi, I’m Kyle and I think adaptations are fun.
Few things excite me more than discovering that a beloved book is being adapted into a movie or TV show — I just have to talk about it! Sometimes the adaptation is really good and other times it feels like an utter betrayal. It works for some and not for others. These are the discussions I hope to have here.
Why me?
I’m not a critic. This publication is a hobby to improve my writing skills and connect with others over art. My thoughts and feelings about adaptations, books, movies, and TV will hopefully spark a discussion or debate about the impact of art in our lives. I try to keep things positive.
Why “bite size?”
There’s so much content out there and I’m not looking to create anything click baitey, sensational, or controversial. I just want to briefly share my love for something and get the honest opinions of others.
