This is a tough one but the only one that comes to my mind is "Marley and me".

The closest I can come was Interview with the Vampire. The book had a lot of boring parts and it was hard imagining what the author was really talking about, but the movie really brought everything to life and I liked the ending to the movie better.0

Can I go with a TV show? I'm having a super hard time reading through the Game of Thrones books but I loved season 1 of the TV series!0

It's funny, I think the books are really great. There are a lot of details and characters so it's hard to follow, but it's totally worth it because you start to make links and understand things that are not as obvious or just not mentioned in the TV series. : )0 -

Very true. I just find that there are a lot of really dry parts in the books which could have been left out without hurting the book at all. But I do think that if I hadn't already read the books I wouldn't have understood some of what was happening in the show. There were a lot of times while my bf and I were watching it where he was like "what?!" and I'd have to explain something to him.0 -

Take it back!!!Pet Cemetary
Or at least spell it correctly.
Pet Sematery was fabulous as a book, as are all of Stephen's books. They can't do justice to his writing on a movie screen...0 -

#truth! I've hated every Stephen King movie that I've seen but LOVE his books!0 -
This will be a short thread. :laugh:
I can think of movies where I didn't *read* the book, but not one where I *hated* the book. Hmmmm...0 -
Blade Runner.
Nope. Can't think of anything else-it's usually the other way round!
(ie I love the book but hate the movie!)0 -
Another tv show... The Vampire Diaries. The show is pretty good, the books are CRAP. In the books, Elena is a whiny, empty headed twit... In the show, she isn't the epitome of depth and volume, but at least she has some inner strength and a fairly large intellect.0

Except for Shawshank Redemption and Green Mile...those 2 were GOOD movie adaptations, for a change!

"Into the Wild." I didn't hate the book, but the movie actually had more details.0

That is correct! Also, please see: the original Shining with Jack Nicholson......0 -

I'm with you on that. The books drag on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on..0 -
I liked the movie "Water for Elephants" better than the book. I like how the movie streamlined the story of Jacob as an old man and didn't keep flashing between him in the past and him in present like the book did.0

I feel that way about all of the parts about the wall. Yet, in the series, I love Jon Snow, so I prefer the series in that sense.
This is one of the few books where I recommend people watching it first. It makes it so much easier to follow if you have seen it first.0 -
TV show but The Vampire Diaries...I love the show but the books sucked! Lord of the Rings is a good one.0
