> Pretty much everyone acknowledges the books are almost always better. Part of the reason is this, yes.
It's usually not the reason, though. People say "the book is better" because films necessarily have to remove a bunch of content in order to fit within a movie timeframe, which requires changing the narrative arc. That's an entirely unrelated issue.
