The books have to be better than the awful Joe Pickett Paramount Series. I could barely make it thru one episode.
The movies make a mess out of some really good books.
Another example is the Jack Reacher stories. Reacher in the books is about 6 foot 4 and 240 pounds. Who do they get to play Reacher in the movies, 5 foot 7, 160 pound, Tom Cruise. Are you kidding me? I started watching one of the movies and couldn't take it more than a half hour.
