Absolutely not! I have always been excited to see the words based on the book by in movie credits. I remember seeing Jurassic Park for the first time and being excited to see it was also a book. I went home and a movie tie in copy was already on our family bookshelf, thanks to my grams. She used to grab a paperback or 2 every time she went grocery shopping and then send them to our house after she read them.

On the flip side, I hate getting excited when a favorite novel is adapted for the screen and the movie sucks. My first and most memorable experience with that was Flowers in the Attic (the 1987 theatrical film, not the recent Lifetime movies).
