What's the best book-made-into-movie you've ever read & seen? I ended up seeing Divergent this weekend, and for the most part, the movie adaptation was pretty spot on (except for one of the major climaxes at the end?!!). It got me thinking, is it better to read the book first or see the movie first? It's like either way, you end up frustrated. If you read first then when you watch the movie, you just play the book in your head the whole time and scrutinize every little thing that did/didn't actually happen. If you read the book after, you can't help but picture the characters as they were in the movie and your brain can't really imagine events that are in the book but weren't in the movie -- a.k.a. my experience with Harry Potter :( 

I guess in the end, it's still better to read the book first because that's where your imagination has the most freedom and you really fall in love with the characters. Ah, the inner conflicts of book nerds :)

12 Movies that are just as good as the books.

I can't discuss this topic without forever thinking of this...
