While a picture may be worth a thousand words, filling in the mental image with ones imagination is even more colorful.
You had better pop down to your nearest bookshop and ask them to point out their "graphic novels" section ...

I've never seen a film of a book that was as good as reading the book.

I've never read the book. But I can't imagine the book being able to describe a scene from The Exorcist" for example, as well as the movie.

Why should one think I've made a joke? Like I said, I never read the book. So I can't imagine anybody being able to set to words some of the scenes in the movie as well as the movie did, especially with it being 1973 special effects photography. I don't even think a "remake" of it done now could rival the film work done in the 1973 movie. That was excellent production work. I just don't see words on a page doing it justice.
The movie was a little heavy on the barfing. I'm not sure I care for that especially. But it was still pretty good film work. If it was up to me to set the movie code, I'd ban the ralphing totally. Just not necessary.
I'm having a hard enough time studying the real estate textbook. Took the class once and failed the exam, and the re-test. Certainly don't have time for storybooks.
This thread is not about me. I like reading books that teach me something, how to do something. Storybooks don't interest me. But thanks for making your point.

Is there such a section and can you give examples?

I actually enjoyed the 2001 book, and felt it followed the movie, but I think that is because it was "written" in tandem with the movie. I was disappointed with the movie version of 2010."I've never seen a film of a book that was as good as reading the book".
Gone With the Wind. 2001 A Space Odyssey. The Wizard of Oz. The Killing (from Clean Break by Lionel White). Paths of Glory. To Kill a Mockingbird. Jaws. The Day the Earth Stood Still (from the Sci-Fi short story Farewell To the Master, which was pretty much crap). A Clockwork Orange. Frankenstein. Psycho. Carrie. Goldfinger. The Island of Dr. Moreau (not the latest versions. The Burt Lancaster and Charles Laughton versions). Apollo 13. Precious. Fail Safe.
A few good films that I would not mind seeing again, especially Precious and the Island of Dr. Moreau.
The only books I felt that had pictures, or illustrations rather, that were up to the writing were Through the Looking Glass and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
