Exactly, though I've read several books that got made into movies later. Case in point is The Lord of the Rings. I read the books several times LONG before the movies came out. The movies are good on their own, and capture the spirit of the story in the books, BUT are quite different than the books on many points.
It's just hard to capture a story from a book and turn it into a move. There have been very few exceptions to this and the only ones that pop into my head right now have been some of the adaptations of John Grisham's noves.
