that is what upsets people who know the books ..
look at the uproar over the Harry Potter books.
people know them so well that they go to the theatre and expect to see the book come to life...
i havent seen any changes to those books that bothered me (like it does the rabid fankids) but i also understand why certain things were done.
i'm not arguing that they should or shouldnt do these things .. its up to the filmaker (for the most part)
i'm just saying that often the success of a movie can depend on how faithful it is to the source - especially if it is a very popular story.
for a really good example of this - wait until the davinci coce comes out ..
