Those are all tough to adapt, though some of them are worse than others. The books were all good (Da vinci Code was good idea but kind of weak execution, especially if you read his other books and realize he writes one story over and over again with different characters each time).AlexisReed wrote:Great award winning books but horrible films what are your opinon these are my top five.
1. Beloved
2 Native Son
3. For Colored Girls
4. The Scarlett Letter
5.The Da Vinci Code

I suppose it is difficult to condense some books into two hours of film. Da Vinci by Dan Brown is one good example.
