Which Movie And TV Adaptations Are Better Than The Books?

Tell us !

So we’ve all seen a movie/TV show adaptation that we hoped would do the book justice but just ended up making us feel a little meh :/.

But have you ever seen a really, really good adaptation that just blew your mind in the best way possible?

Like, maybe you readLittle Fires Everywhereand didn’t love it, but after watchingReese WitherspoonandKerry Washingtonscream at each other onscreen, you completely changed your mind.

Or maybe you felt so-so aboutThe Ballad of Songbirds and Snakesbook, but found that watching the Games play out onscreen was WAY more exciting and captivating.

Maybe you’ve only seen thetrailerforA Good Girl’s Guide To Murderand have already decided this is the best TV adaptation you’ve ever seen.

Or perhaps you turned the TV adaptation ofNormal Peopleinto your entire personality and have zero regrets about it!

Whatever it is, we wanna know! Tell us which movie/TV adaptations are better than the books they’re based on — and WHY you think that. The best responses will be included in aBuzzFeed Communitypost!
