I agree that the majority of book adaptations are pretty awful, and there isn't one I've seen that's as good as the book. But I wouldn't want adaptations to be abolished completely simply because there are films that do justice to their source material and stand on their own merits as movie masterpieces. For example:
-The Godfather
-The Thin Red Line
-Solaris
-Lawrence of Arabia
-Don't Look Now
Remember; we wouldn't have these if people didn't adapt books into movies.
