Is the Book Better Than the Movie? - Page 2

These books have been adapted on screen. The movies were successful in one way or another, receiving Oscar nominations, being certified "fresh" on Rotten Tomatoes, launching a franchise, or earning a lot of money. (To be clear, some books have more than one film adaptation, and perhaps only one of those was a success!) There are even claims that the movies improved upon a few of these books.
