So when they make a movie about "MY" book they put their own spin on my people and it either ruins the book for me or ruins the movie, depending upon which I have watched or read first.
So far the book/movie combos that I've read/watched have done a pretty good job conveying my perception of the main characters from one to the other. But if they didn't, I could see it really ruining the experience. I can definitely understand your feelings.
