While the Cirque Du Freak movie has plenty of fans (it does! honestly!!), there's no denying that lots of people dislike it too, especially if they'd read my books first and were dismayed by the way the film-makers played fast and loose with the plots and characters in the novels.

It cropped up again in a recent(ish) article on BUZZFEED, entitled: 22 Book To Movie Adaptations That Really Disappointed The Readers. (A rather odd number of movies to pick, in my opinion -- why not stick to the standard 20?!?) There isn't a whole lot of content attached to each listing -- most of them get a single quote from a disgruntled fan, although Cirque Du Freak actually got the double-barrel treatment, with these two stingers:

"It was a horrible movie, but great book series." – Breanna Ferguson

"I like to try to pretend it never happened." – Jes Parsons
