Name a book that's better than the film

[FuckertyFuck]

For me its Good night Mr Tom and Little Women

The Birds

Children of Men

Bridges of madison county. I liked the book, walked out of the film.

The Goldfinch. Amazing book, average , slightly dull film.

Me before you

WTF did you do that spoiler for?
Are you a time traveller from 2010?

I like the film A Room with A View more than the book. It's absolutely perfect in every way. I don't like the last chapter of the book. I prefer The English Patient film to the book too.
I'm sorry for answering the question in the wrong direction, OP, but the book is generally better than the film.

I've never actually read The Notebook but I've cried copiously through the film a few times so I'm guessing it's an exception to the rule also.

I read somewhere once that good books make bad films, and vice versa.

This is going to hurt by Adam Kay - A million, trillion times better!

Atonement

Jurassic Park is a better film than the book!

Also the Handmaids Tale series

The fault in our stars

Harry Potter.

Georgianna, Duchess of Devonshire.

Always

What?? Pretty much every book is far superior to the film!

Every book ever made into a film, and every book to be made into a film in the future!

Ds says Of Mice and Men and the How to Train Your Dragon series.

Captain Corelli's Mandolin story was ruined in film

Almost all of them.

Fortunately I read the reviews of The Time Traveller's Wife and Captain Corelli's Mandolin films before deciding whether to see them, and therefore never did!

The only thing where I liked the adaptation more than the books was Game of Thrones!

Under the Skin was a very interesting novel that really made me think with lots of different themes, but mainly factory farming. The main character is a surgically altered female alien who is a bit of a misfit and constantly in pain from her surgery who hunts hitchhikers. In the completely different film she is the beautiful Scarlet Johansson who is a temptress alien. The factory farming theme is completely erased. The film is quite odd.

But does that make it better or worse? And in what sense?

in my experience the book is always better - more detailed and nuanced and I can make my own picture of the places and characters so much so that I no longer watch a film if I’ve read, or plan to read, the book.

The book is always better than the film unless it’s Lord of the Rings

Ooh yes agree about Jurassic park! I liked the book but the film is definitely superior

Starter for Ten. The book is so funny the film falls a little flat.
