Well it really depends on the book. Books such as LOTR is really good as a movie as it really is draggy when you read the book. However, some books are never meant to be made into a movie. As for a start, it's because they have to cramp up everything into, well the most 3 hours, thus, cutting out a lot of bits from the books.

I enjoy imagining what the author is trying to picture, but i'm also a very slow reader

I guess it depends who does the screenplay and how it;'s done.
HP and LOTR were pretty good.
but some are pretty bad..>.<

I have recently heard that there is going to be a movie made of "good omens" by Terry Prachett and Neil Gaiman. If anyone can tell me if this is true or not I would be eternally grateful. It's like my favorite book ever!

Well I guess it depends. Like I never read the Lord of the Ring books, but I really enjoyed the movies. My cousin told me that the books were slow anyway. I suppose the Harry Potter movies are good...no let's redo that. The movies are good it's just they leave out a lot that is in the books. However, I know they cannot put everything in, so I just have to deal .^_^. However, older movies, that no one probably knows which makes me feel old, like Rebecca, the book and the movie were practically the same.

Oh wait! Years ago I read Ella Enchanted. That book was magnificent, but the movie... *restrains herself* Need I say more?
