I had the experience. When I see the movie first, it is alright, but when I have read the novel first, the movie is usually disappointing.

(So far, I have had one exception: No Country For Old Men - I think the movie captures the book just perfectly.)

My one exception is Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.

Thanks, I will put that on my to-read/to-watch list!
