It's a tough call. On one hand you have something like James Patterson's Along Came a Spider, granted not an all time classic book but a decent read... that was turned into one of the most idiotic illogical movies I've ever seen. Then you have Jeff Lindsay's Darkly Dreaming Dexter, which was actually elevated into something better IMO when it became the show Dexter on Showtime.
