Percy Jackson, by far. They changed the characters' ages, looks and personalities, completely changed the plot and butchered one of my personal favorites.

Hunger Games and Harry Potter I'd say are really close to the book compared to this^ trainwreck.

The vampires assistant it mashes up all the darren shan cirque du freak books into like an hour and a half and there is like 12 books.

after watching eragon it made me not want to read the inheritance cycle and i thought my classmates who were reading it were stupid, i am so glad that i got bored one vacation and picked up eldest.

Jurassic Park. Book was WAY better than the movie.

The movie Misery was not nearly as good as the book
