Books/TV shows into movies

[arterial]

So many shows and books have made the transformation onto the silver screen. Do you guys like the idea? Which ones worked? Which ones didn't?

I really like the book The Kite Runner, but i totally didn't come out good when it got transferred to film. For the most part I prefer books over their movie counterparts.

I'm a complete sucker for those murder mystery/crime investigation movies and books. I read a book a few years ago that was incredible. It was about how this one cop that spent twenty years tracking down The Green River Killer, and finally helped catch him with the help of Ted Bundy.

I'm trying to get excited about it coming out as a movie, but I'm just hoping that it doesn't totally get hacked up like the rest of them.

I've never read the Green River Killer (is that what the book is called). Is it any good?I usually like to read the books before I seem them as a movie, but I think this is a different instance because its something that happened in real life. I think i'll check it out. I mean what else really am I doing at 8pm on a Sunday night beside dreading going back to work?

Ok...so how surprised to find out that James Marsters is in this movie when I turned it on last night??? A WHOLE LOT! I was pleasantly surprised! But apparently last night was the second half and now I have to find out when its on again because i want to see the whole thing.
