		I think it is a little unfair to hold two totally different mediums to one standard.  It is simply storytelling in different forms.  I don't have any scruples with watching a film before reading the book or vise versa. As the book normally comes first, the fact that there is a movie adaptation speaks for its quality.  However, that said, I did read the novelization of The Mummy, written after the film release.  It didn't do anything for me.
