A Movie For the Non-Readers

The Mortal Instruments book series is becoming a movie series! Just like The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Twilight, The Hunger Games and much more, The Mortal Instruments series released it's first movie on August 21st, 2013. It's called, "The Mortal Instruments, City of Bones," The same title as the first book.

The first book of the series, written by Cassandra Clare, was published in March, 2007 and by April, was already highly popular. It is a series of modern and urban fantasy, filled with Angels, demons and every other creature known to that genre. There is love, there's battles, there is honor and betrayal and above else, it is unique in it's story line.

The series consists of five books so far with a sixth and final book scheduled for release in May, 2014. All the books in the series have been in the New York Times Bestseller lists. City of Bones was number 1 on the list for 9 weeks, taking the place of The Hunger Games.

There are plenty of us out there who feel we don't have time to read a whole book series. That's why having the best sellers become movies is great! It takes a few days if not more to read a book series but it only takes a couple of hours to go see a movie. Check it out and see if you like the visual story!

  1. This looks pretty cool. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

    When you write, be as specific and detail-filled as possible. i.e., tell me, your reader, what you mean by "highly popular." How long did it take for the first book to get on best-seller lists? A little research goes a long way!

  2. I love this series, although I haven't seen the movie, I heard it got bad reviews. I had the chance to meet the author once though, and that was fantastic. Hopefully the movies pick up in ratings!
