Books being turned into movies is always a hit and miss type of thing.

Sometimes when a book is turned into a movie, such like the Harry Potter series, can be really worth it and are just as good, or if not better, than the books themselves. It really depends on the books and the director/producer and how much money is actually put into making the movie. I honestly believe if someone wants to turn a book series into a movie, they should put all the money they can into making the movie so they can do the best they can with it, or just not bother. But then again if a book is being made into a movie, I'll watch the movie and if I end up not liking it, I just won't watch the movie again. It doesn't make the book any less appealing or special to me. A movie can't "ruin" a book unless the person lets it.
