If you’re a book lover, you know that a lot of times, the movie doesn’t do the book justice. But there are some that did do the book justice --- or were even better! Book and movie/tv lovers of the Buzzfeed Community have shared which movies and shows were just as good as the book they were based on or were better!
- "Honestly, ‘The Hunger Games’ trilogy (specifically, ‘Catching Fire’ and ‘Mockingjay Parts 1 and 2’). The first may not have been the most faithful, but the last three were perfect, from the casting to the storyline to even the dialogue. They even made up for a lot of the material dropped by the first movie. It’s a near-perfect adaptation, in my opinion."
- "’Holes’ will forever be the best book-to-film adaptation to reach screens."
- "’The Princess Bride’ is one of the best ones."
- "’The Shawshank Redemption’ not only should have won every Oscar it was nominated for, but is the greatest adaptation ever and one of the best movies ever!"
- "’Good Omens.’ It's one of my favorite books and I was afraid the TV series would ruin it, even with David Tennant in it. I was wrong. It's wonderful, and adds to the book."
- "’Outlander, hands down.’ The author has written episodes as well and is a consultant for the series. They’ve really brought the books to life and have stayed pretty in sync with the source material."
