But I've come to accept adaptations as an art form more, and can understand more of the reasoning for making some changes. Also, some adaptations shine so well on their own that they end up becoming more well-known or regarded as better than the original book (Jaws and 2001: A Space Odyssey are probably two good examples).
And sometimes, sticking to the book exactly doesn't produce a great film. They're different mediums.
But there are a lot of adaptations that don't work well at all. A film adaptation should either be a good representation of the book (in which case any changes shouldn't alter the story or characters too much), or it should just do its own thing. I think something like Clueless is a good example of the latter. It's based on Emma, yes, but it's a retelling or re-imagining of the story, not a strict adaptation.
