KEK thanks.

Books should not be made into movies. They should remain part of the individual reader's mind. Movie makers should make up their own stuff.

good luck with that.

Books shouldn't be adapted 1 to 1. That's when it's a waste, rather it should only be tangentially related, or completely different, only copying the idea.

If the book is good: book first. (Hamlet)

If the book is not (especially) good: film first, book (probably) not at all. (Goodfellas)

If they're both decent: doesn't matter. (Master & Commander)

(This is based on the assumption that the book came first. A book written as a spin-off from a film will almost certainly be a complete waste of time.)
