It’s moments like that I really wonder about how and why some books are turned into movies while others are not. I’m not talking about the obvious huge selling books, their move(s) to the big screen make sense.
I’m talking about obscure coming of age novels like Goats. (Hard as hell to find this book on Amazon because if you search for Goats, you get a ton of non-fiction about goat tending, sheesh.)
Written in 2002 — first novel by a short story writer — it’s… different.
Not great, not horrible. Just different.
There were moments of genius and moments that caused eyerolling and overall, I liked it. I might even be glad I found this on the list of books turned movies (for my books turned movies challenge.) I can’t wait to watch the movie…
