The A.V. Club's Put the book back on the shelf: 13 book-to-film adaptations that the authors hated

Add to my lists | Print this list

This title is a bit of a misnomer as "13 authors that hated the book-to-film adaptations of their work" or "17 or so book-to-film adaptations that the authors hated" would have been more accurate since the Stanislaw Lem entry includes both the 1972 and 2002 adaptation of Solaris and the Alan Moore is as vague as to include any and all derivatives from 2001 to present.
