Amazon.com Review
One of the great pleasures of moviegoing is seeing a beloved novel adapted for the screen; one of the big delights of novel reading is encountering a book that has been made into a favorite film. The Encyclopedia of Novels into Films is an expansive volume that will guide you through the rich history of film adaptation. Each entry falls into two parts: the first describes the original novel; the second assesses the film it inspired. Particularly interesting are records for books like Dracula, Les Misérables, Great Expectations, The Body Snatchers, and The Great Gatsby, which were each made into several radically different movies. Some entries may surprise you. Did you know that The Silence of the Lambs, Shaft, and Rear Window were bestselling books before they became famous films? Trivia like this, along with larger issues about how to transform literature into visual art are covered in this wonderful and informative guide. --Raphael Shargel --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From School Library Journal
YA-A wonderful resource for everyone with silver halide running through their veins. The authors, with the help of 75 scholars and writers, have culled the universe of novels produced into film and presented them in a coherent mix. The first section is alphabetically arranged by book title. For each entry, equal weight is given to an analysis of the novel and the film. Anecdotes about author's motives, writing style, plot development, and synopsis are also included. The entries highlight the novels' metamorphosis into film. Many of the entries are accompanied by a black-and-white movie still and there are pictures of some of the authors. An appendix gives selected bibliographical sketches of well-known authors. Most of the novels selected are classics, making this book especially appealing to those who want to explore how classic literature has been turned into cinematographic art.

From Library Journal
With contributions from several dozen academics covering adaptations from Henry Fielding to Stephen King, this reference work is full of promise. The entries are organized by book titles (cross-referenced from films with changed titles) and contain short essays on the book and its various screen incarnations. But there are a number of deficiencies, starting with the mysterious selection process, which is not explained by Tibbitts (His Majesty the American: The Cinema of Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., Oak Tree, 1977) and Welsh, editor of the Literature Film Quarterly. It would have helped if all the novels had been synopsized, allowing the contributor to make a direct comparison to what is contained in the film. Short biographies of the novelists are confusing; some works mentioned are covered in the book, while others are not. Not a necessary purchase.?Thomas J. Wiener, editor, "Satellite DIRECT," Vienna, Va.

From Booklist
The new edition of an encyclopedia first published in 1998 provides an introduction to "significant" film adaptations of more than 300 novels. Arranged alphabetically by novel's title, each entry contains the author's name; brief film credits (director, adaptor[s], producers); and comments on the novel and on the film. Entries are accompanied by brief lists of references and occasional black-and-white photographs. Following the A-Z entries are an essay on the novelist as screenwriter, a selected bibliography, an index by film title, and a general index.
The audience for the work is the general reader, not the film specialist, so the selection is more eclectic than exhaustive. This second edition adds approximately 30 new adaptations, among them The Bourne Identity, Cold Mountain, and Mystic River. Some older adaptations that were left out of the 1998 edition have also been added, as have remakes of The Manchurian Candidate and The Quiet American, to name a few. Made-for-TV adaptations are generally not covered. Entry length ranges from a page to more than eight pages for The Lord of the Rings. A foreword by Robert Wise discussing the nature of film adaptations is followed by an essay on why film adaptations should be studied.
Enser's Filmed Books and Plays (6th ed., 2003) is far more comprehensive, listing approximately 8,000 adaptations of novels, plays, and nonfiction works, but it is primarily an index and does not provide comparative analysis. The Encyclopedia of Novels into Film has a place in both academic and popular collections and should definitely be considered by libraries in which the first edition was heavily used. Patricia Hogan

Review
Why is the book always better than the movie? This reference tome answers that question...Emphasizing the Sisyphean challenges faced by directors and screenwriters in transposing a verbal form to a visual to a visual one...Discriminating and jargon free, this compendium should prove useful to film and book buffsand ought to be required reading for literature-trawling filmmakers -- Entertainment Weekly, January 9, 1998 --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
