Just about any book as considerably longer than that which necesitates cutting large chunks out of any adapted books. Once large chunks get cut out revisions have to be made to keep what is left cohearant. The real question becomes then whether it tries to keep consistant as best as possible or they end up using the book as more of an inspiration. There are no perfect adaptions no matter how close a few occasionaly get. For me he Fellowship of the Ring came the closest I have seen (The others wen't nearly as close) but even it took some liberties to adapt the length. The worst is hard to choose because there are so many, but they often fall into the inspired by category that pretty much only have the name in common.</blockquote>
