I saw some posts on here about good vs bad books adaptations, and it got me thinking about books that probably shouldn't or can't be adapted and why.
I know before the recent Dune movie releases people were saying that it would be too difficult to make a good adaption of the book due to the scale, need for special effects, etc. (Yet, the movies turned out really really good imo.) I just finished Coldwire and that's another one that I don't think can be adapted in a way that would work well- iykyk.
What are some books that you think shouldn't or can't be adapted into a tv show or movie?
