    Actually Spielberg's "Lincoln" was based on Team of Rivals. Didn't get much into the "rivals" part of it though though I did love David Straithairn as Seward and Bruce McGill and Stanton were solid. That cast was nuts - didn't realize Adam Driver was in it as was David Oyelowo.

    Salmon P. Chase and his Ivanka-like daughter were a big part of that book and were not in the movie much if at all.

    Dracula made into a good representation of the book, not that abomination Bram Stoker's Dracula became.

    The Kim Stanley Robinson Mars trilogy. I hope he has several novels left in him.

    Agreed on Founding Brothers, though the History Channel documentary (pre-woo) was quite good
