Question of the Week - Question of the Week #8: Which books make good movies?
I will quickly mention The Bourne Series by Robert Ludlum. The movies were great movies but really only followed the books is the loosest sense of the word. The books had a whole other layer to them that was completely omitted on the screen. Also "Sahara" by Clive Cussler. He was so disappointed he swore never again to let anyone butcher his work. "Ma Father's Glory" and "My Mother's Castle" did a great job staying true to the books as did "Jean de Florette" and "Manon des sources" but then again, the french are pretty fanatical about being true to the written word when they turn it into a movie.
