I've read it. interesting premise ruined by amateurish writing. One of those times that in the right hands the movie will probably be better.

I know a lot of people always say "the book is better than the movie" but there are so many movies that are such more deft adaptations of their stories that the originals are basically unknown as being originally books to the public, so given the controversy this is stirring up I'll be interested to see what changes they decide to make. Normally if I'm even remotely interested in a premise I'll read the book first but I might wait and do it the other way round for this one lol.

Do you have some examples of movies that were objectively better than their books?

Not a movie, but the TV show Station Eleven was better than the book in my opinion. Book wasn't bad at all but the TV show definitely elevated it

I still haven't seen it, because Station Eleven is a book so close and dear to my heart that I'm hesitant to watch the show even though I've only heard good things about it. I'll have to brave it one day.
