Christian fiction
If you’re a dude, this post is not for you.
If you’re a woman with any amount of literary dignity, this post is not for you.
No, this post is for Leah – Circa 1994.
When I was 12 or something, I read the “love comes softly” book series. Basically a more overtly Christian little house on the prairie style tale.
Apparently Hallmark made some movies out of the books, and while it was 15 years since I last picked up one of them, if im remembering even 10% of thr details right, these movies are total bastardizations. Seriously, why call it by the same name if nothing else is even remotely the same?
I know, I know. “the book is always better than the movie. ” well, that doesn’t really apply here because that would be implying the books were good. I mean, they were fine. But they werent masterpieces of fiction by any means.
So what is going on with these movies?
A. They thought the books were soooooooo grood and decided they needed to be made into movies.
B. They decided little house on the prairie needed a revival, and picked these books to take names and places from but nothing else.
If a, BIG FAIL. If b, why bother? Why not just make up your own crappy names and places and call a spade a spade?
Seriously.
Aaaaaaand I’m watching them anyway. I’m such a loser.
