Books That Are Better Than Their Movie Versions - Page 2

This list uses some of the best examples, in my opinion (in alphabetical order), to show that books are generally always better than their movie adaptations. Feel free to give a thumbs up or down to share your opinion. There are some exceptions, though, so if you want to see some movies that I think are better than the books they're based on, go to my list at the following link:
