10 Movies Based on Books to Stream on Netflix

9 Books on My List this Summer

I don’t know about all of you, but I love when one of my favorite books is made into a movie. I know, I know — the movie is never quite as good as the book, but it’s still a treat to see the movie played out before my eyes on the big screen. I am excited to see so many great movies on Netflix that have been adapted from books.

New this month to Netflix is The Giver. In a future society without hardship or free choice, young Jonas discovers a powerful truth and becomes determined to expose it. This adaptation of Lois Lowry’s Newbery Medal-winning novel features Oscar winners Jeff Bridges and Meryl Streep.
