Which novel to TV or movie adaptation was the most disappointing and why?
I don't generally watch TV/movies, and I *especially* avoid adaptations of books because they're uniformly shit.
If you look at a script, it's equivalent in content to a novella, not an entire novel. Anything shorter than a TV miniseries will require disastrous cuts to a book length work. And the requirements of contemporary commercial TV/film are inimical to depth in storytelling.
