15 Movie Adaptations the Author of the Book Said They Loved According to MovieWeb

"Because most good books are inherently detailed, certain plots or scenes normally get left out or changed so that the movie can have a more reasonable and streamlined running time. In cases where authors aren't the biggest fans of adaptations of their work, their views make sense because they put blood, sweat, and tears into crafting the tales. Everything is deliberate in their writing, hence why they don't want to see their stories tweaked. Thankfully, there are a few instances when filmmakers honored the work put in by the original creators, leaving them very pleased. Some either kept things as they were in the source material or made little clever improvements that left the authors awed. Here are 15 movie adaptations the authors of the original book said they loved." - movieweb.com
