I thought it was a very good adaptation, too, as did son, who typically hates what happens to books when they're adapted to movies. Don't get him, or me, started on how badly adapted Percy Jackson-The Lightening Thief or Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows were.

Then there's the movie of Ian Fleming's Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, where about the only thing the two stories have in common is the flying car.

I guess that when I think of really good adaptations, To Kill a Mockingbird is the first movie to come to mind.
