Any time one might want to create a movie from a book it will be a difficult process. Movie adaptations often leave someone who has read the book related to the film feeling fairly dissatisfied, why might this be?
The simple answer is that in many cases there isn't enough time within a movie to cover all of the contents within a book. Longer books can often span the time of a year or more and most films simply can't replicate something like that within a few hours.
What can be done to combat this? Well in many cases, making an unusually long movie can be the remedy, in other cases a series of films would be in good taste. For some books however neither of the above are able to cover the subject matter and simply fall short.
In my opinion most books are not meant to be movies, that is exactly why they are books.
