No Country for Old Men. I love Cormac McCarthy. While it is still a good book, I think it is one of his weaker books (which is not an insult when he's one of the greatest novelists in history), and the movie was just cast perfectly.

Brave take, but I think I agree. There's so many dry and slow sections of the books, whereas the movies are paced so well. If you want to get deep into the lore, then the books are great. If you want to see the plot move and not read another poem or song about dwarves, then the films are better.

I can't recommend either, but the book is one of the worst things ever put to paper.
