As a fellow movie-goer, it all depends on perspective. If you want to see a Dracula movie, don't read the books. It will come off as a tacky and not a real adaption or translation of the book. The book did start a new genre of vampires in literature in the modern world. In respect to the Twilight Saga,
the movies were definitely better than the novels. The main character can drone on and on about nothing, when all you want is the action you can see in the movies. But in a book-to-movie movie, it's best the book stays true to the movie, even an adaptation.
