The NAGATB Maxim
Here at Not As Good As The Book, we accept that various problems are encountered when translating a book to other media; problems that require compromising aspects of the original piece. What we care about is whether the product of that compromise delivers the same fundamental elements of the original work and whether we feel the new version is as good as the book.
