Many of the season's most anticipated movies are directly adapted from books. Some directors are turning classics like "It" and "Murder on the Orient Express" into big feature films, while others are making critically acclaimed, yet relatively unknown, books mainstream. Either way, fall is shaping out to be a great season for both avid readers and movie buffs.
Whether you want to determine whether the book is actually better than the movie or are simply in search of a good story, these are nine adaptations everyone will be talking about this fall.
