Netflix Originals Based on Books - Suggested by Alison

Transforming books to screen is not a new phenomenon, but with so many networks and the proliferation of streaming services, more content is being developed than ever before. If you turn on Netflix now, you will find a wide variety of series and movies based on books. As long as books are made into movies or television shows, people will debate two questions:
- Should you read the book before you watch the movie?
- Which is better—the book or the movie?
Below is a list of some Netflix originals that Alison has found that are based on books. All of the books are available through Overdrive (although some have wait times). Read the books, watch the shows, and decide which is better.
