Most movies I have seen that came from a book, didn't do the book justice. The screenwriter adds her/his own stuff, or deletes things they don't think important.

Right now I'm really looking forward to The Help. Comes out in a couple of weeks. I read the book, and LOVE it

Plan to read it again. I have seen several of the movie trailers, and a bit on 20-20 the other night. Looks like they are sticking very close to the written word.
