No. . . actually I see more people not liking movies that liked the books. . .there are a lot of books out there that are great, but when made into movie form just get the life sucked out of them. Clear and Present Danger comes to mind. . . Loved the book. . . hated the movie. I will never see another Tom Clancy adaptation because of the way they thrashed that book.

Weirdly enough, for me a novelization actually helped me understand the movie better. . . Maybe I should have been paying more attention to the movie, rather than the girl two seats over. . .
I love books. . . . I love movies. . . the two shouldn't go together, yet someone I can't seperate them. A book I loved made into a movie almost guarantees I see the movie. . . .
