Book to Movie Adaptations

As a rule I do not see (most) book to movie adaptations. There is nothing worse than a bad book to movie adaptation. I nearly cried when I saw that they had made a movie of my favorite book series, The Maze Runner, because I saw what they did to Twilight, My Sister's Keeper, The Hunger Games, Harry Potter, The Hobbit, every Stephen King novel EVER and every other damn book that I love.  I swear a part of my heart dies every times one of my near and dear books get a movie adaptation. I especially have an issue with the way they adapt YA novels, but even some books that are not of the YA genre these same things happen.
There are movies like Wild, and The Big Short that are books based on real life events. I have not had an issue with any of these type of adaptations and largely I haven't read any of the books these kinds of movies are based on, so I realize I have positively reviewed many movies based on books, that are based on real life events, but these aren't the one's I am really talking about.
