Of the moderate length novels I've read that became movies, I think
they were just about all blown (strange, I can't think of an example
of movie-I've-seen;book-I've-read, but I *know* there are some...).
The one example I can think of to counter this is The World According
to Garp.  While they did leave out a lot, I think they got most of
the high points (except a friend of mine didn't think the anti-rape
theme came through strong enough...)
