What Books Are Better Than The Film Adaptation?

[Roseangelo]

Asking the opposite question is more useful. The movies that are better than the books is a more interesting conversation.

Forrest Gump is the first one that comes to mind for me.

And I had to quit reading the Martian because it was kinda boring after already having seen the movie (although my understanding is that it is a really good book, the movie just nails it as being a good adaptation of it).

I haven't read Jaws, but from what I've read the movie is better.
