Another great example of a great book but useless movie is Cirque Du Freak: The Vampires Apprentice. A series called the Vampeneze and written by Darren Shan. About a kid called Darren Shan who goes from a normal life to a vampires life. It's no twilight or Dracula shit, it's all justincredible.
Then there's the Demonata series, all about demons. The same author. Now he is doing another series called "The Saga Of Larten Crepsley" who stars, Larten Crepsley. He was Darren's vampire master in the Vampeneze series. (I'm just filling you in on some stuff)
The books were incredibly good, but the movie is a complete disaster...
Just look at the Percy Jackson series. They merged like 3 books into one movie... Like the Hydra, for example, wasn't in the book series till like the 3rd book but it was in the lightning thief movie. xP
