Looking for books where the movie was great/classic and you think the book was even better, but it has to be a book that came first with a movie clearly based on it.
I’ll go first- Jurassic Park. Great movie. I think the book is still better because of the extra time the book has to tell the story.
Counter example- Jaws. Great movie but I’ve heard the book is mediocre in comparison.
