The best books I read in my life I found by awful trailers. That's my secret.
I saw a random trailer, I found out it is a film adaptation of some fiction, then I did a little research and ended up finding pretty good books (that I would not normally choose).
This is how I came across:
The time traveller's wife
Summer of love
The hunger games
Matilda
Perfume
Ender's game (I've been reading it for over one year now!)
Lolita (The book and the movie qually took my high appreciation)
And there are also movies way better than their initial hardback (if the author gets lucky) versions, but they're in minority. Like 'The Hours'.
It is a dangerous experiment to turn an amazing book into amazing movie. Books should stay where they are, on the shelves or in people's imagination. After all, the movies' script is written by another person like you or me.
My newest on the list is 'John dies at the end'.
