It is better but it’s also completely different. Which is fine - it’s a more interesting story - but to me they seemed barely connected to each other. Though it had been a really long time since I read the book.

Said that below. I really didn’t like the book but enjoyed the movie.

Probably the only one who thinks this, but Gone Girl. The movie was nothing amazing but it was pretty good. The book I just could not stand. The conceit of the first part being from her fake POV bored me and for the rest of it I couldn’t get over how much I hated her. I hated her in the movie too but I felt like I had more of a break from her I guess.

I was going to say the Handmaid’s Tale. Except I really loved the show (the first couple of seasons anyway) and I like the book a lot too. But I liked how the show had some backstory about the birth rate, for example.

I didn’t see the movie but wow the book is overrated.
