fight club, the book is not bad its more so that the movie overshadows it, the only thing I will say that the book does better is the relationship between the narrator and Marla

a clockwork orange, same not bad does have its own style in its own way its more about how the ending differ with the last minute Alex redemption arch.

the shinning, (I will likely get some hate for this one) the ghosts play a larger role in the book with a couple frightening scenes but the climax and ending is where it falls short with jack torrance chasing around his family with a croquet mallet it crosses the line from scary into absurd and stupid.

Ready player one, the book is one pop-culture reference after another about what the author thinks if cool or hip with one chapter being basically a list of all the cool stuff in his fantasy world that he created and is basically good at everything, most male Mary Sue character I have read in a long time. The film is a fair amount better and does humanize the characters much better then the book
