The Martian - Andy Weir
The book is by far superior, more details, more plot, more humour. The film was good but so much was missing.
Lord of the Rings Trilogy - J.R.R. Tolkien
Films were great but the books again have more details and more plot to them that the films, even at 3 hours each, just cant come close to.
Interview with the Vampire - Anne Rice
If you like Anne Rice' series then the film is a very good adaption in many ways, the book still covers more but I was very pleased with the film adaption.
Queen of the Damned - Anne Rice
Avoid this film if you in any way like the book series. It was just bad.
Chronicles of Narnia - C.S. Lewis
Actually good adaptions of the books. The books are very short but have old fashioned language that might put off new readers so the films are a good modern alternative to keep the story alive, shame they never did Magicians Nephew though as that was always my favourite.
Harry Potter Series - J.K. Rowling
Good movies of some good books, enough said really.
The Night Watch - Sergei Lukanyenko
I actually saw the film before reading the book and was left a little confused but enjoyed it overall. The books however (up until the most recent which was a little meh) are far better and a great read.
