Fight Club. It wasn’t fun to read it felt like the author was ploying with me trying purposefully to confuse me to a point where it forced me to become disinterested. However with the movie i was captivated every second. The book’s attempt to obscure and mystify the reader might have been an intentional stylistic choice, but for me, it didn’t translate well.
How to Train your dragon
Tuck everlasting
I don’t think the movie outdid the book, but it was completely different and also enjoyable: Ella Enchanted
Very strong agree on HTTYD!
