Is this book good to be adopted in to a movie?

I have not read the book yet, but from the reviews in the comments, it sure looks good to be adopted into a movie!

It would be a thriller. I would surely watch it.

Definitely! Futuristic movies attract a wide range of viewers, from little kids to elderlies. The premise of this book hooks you from the beginning and I think there are enough action and adventure scenes to keep viewers interested.

I’m still making my way through the book, but from the futuristic dystopian settings, technology, and action scenes I’ve read so far, I know I’ll enjoy seeing it adapted for the screen.

I think this one would be good as a movie. There's enough action to keep a fast past. Also, there are many other dystopian films out there, so hope it would match the competition!

I think this novel, because of the simpler plot line would translate to the screen better than most sci-fi novels.

It can be a movie, but whether the movie is as good as the book depends on the input into the making of the movie.

This could definitely be a good movie, but I feel as though it would be hard to translate the book exactly into a movie. Too much of the book is Agent Sliver's thoughts.

I think this book has the potential to be a hit, but it would depend on the cast and crew that's chosen to produce this movie. There's been books like Eragon and Inkheart that also had potential to be hits. But due to bad writing and poor directing they failed to gain the public's interest.

I think the whole book could be turned into a movie because of the technology and the fact that the main character Agent Sliver is an assassin. I also think this could make a great movie because of the action scenes, especially the opening scene where he rescues Kelly after her parents bomb their place. With all the other action films that are full of action scenes with assassins using high end technology, I think this could make a great movie. The only parts that may not work so well would be the long stretches of mental monologues the characters have, but a good director could find a way around that by adding several lines in the characters speech to sum the monologues up.

This book is very action packed movie if ever, it should be a “must watch movie ever”!!!

It would probably make a good movie but I feel like its been done before.

Absolutely... With all the features in it, fitting in to a movie is an additional awareness.. Similar things already appear in movies...

I certainly think it will make a great movie. The spacecraft abilities are in no way farfetched as already there is technology for small craft to land vertically. This was featured last week in BBC tech section.

I was originally going to say that the craft Agent Sliver uses might be the only out of place thing, but after reading your comment I have to agree that it's not that unrealistic to picture that kind of craft in another 40 years. As for a lot of the other technology, we are very close to having a lot of that stuff now, so I don't think there would be any issue making it look realistic in a movie format.

With CGI these days, they can make a T-Rex eat the Chrome Wind with a volcano erupting in the background and make it look real. But how great would it be to actually have them build it in real life to film in the movie?
