Great help!
Used it as my theoretical framework for my senior thesis. Great layout, easy to understand, and presents a vast knowledge of the histories behind adaptation!

Great introduction into the topic and generally an interesting read
Like a fellow reviewer, I too write my BA on two adaptations and this book was recommended to me by a fellow student.It's well written and very well researched. Hutcheon mentions the most important aspects of adaptations, she works with well known examples of adapted texts (e.g. Carmen, the Star Wars movies) to illustrate her points and in this newer edition from 2013 with an added epilogue by Siobhan O'Flynn brings a perspective on more recent developments and possibilities in terms of adaptation into the text, citing the potential of the internet and new media.I warmly recommend this book to anyone who has some interest in adaptation or in fact, in story telling in general, as the book covers literature, film, stage performances, videogames and even theme parks.

Comprehensive and understandable
Very good starting point to get into adaptation studies. I wrote my bachelor's thesis on an adaptation and the adapted work and this book really helped me along the way, especially since the references in the back give you a huge range of suggestions for further, more in-depth reading. I'm sure I'll be going back to this if I ever have to deal with adaptations again.
