Literary Spin-Offs: Yay or Nay?
I loved Wicked
and the other Gregory Maguire
spin-offs. So when FlavorWire did a Required Reading post on the 10 Great Literary Spin-Offs I was interested to see my other options. They even mentioned a book I recently read (and thought was great) called March
that is a spin-off to Little Women
. And while they weren't all my first choice to see spin-offs of (I HATED Beowulf
and can't imagine reading a spin-off
) they had some good recommendations.
I have heard of Wide Sargasso Sea
before - but haven't read it. The Hours
was a great book (and movie
) and I'd love to reread it. I've never heard of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead but I love FlavorWire's description so I added it to my Goodreads wishlist.
Anyways, check out the list. But note my disappointment that Wicked didn't make it.
Any other spin-offs you'd recommend?
