Well of course they did, but have a little mercy. Put yourself in the place of the screenwriter, you've got to condense about 18 hours (the time of the audio book) into 2 and a half hours. Unless you the screenwriter can figure out how to overcome the space time continuum you are going to have to omit some absolutely wonderful stuff. That's just the way it is.

A mediocre book doesn't have that problem. The Godfather book was OK but nothing spectacular; The Godfather movie was a great work of art.

I admit that was very unusual, the book is almost always far far better than the book, but if a movie can be half as good as a great book that is a triumph.
