That does tend to be the case with books adapted to TV/film. Looking at you, Eragon and ATLA.
Tangent: LOTR is the exception imo, Peter Jackson and crew did a great job in adapting a fictional history tome into a movie. Getting rid of Tom Bombadil was a good move, despite him being so cool in the book.
I'll have to pick the books up and give them a read, I liked what little I saw in Wikipedia. Thank you!!
No need for Tom in the movie, the movie viewer take his place as the out of time, out of place witness to the world.
When we watch the trilogy, we are all Tom Bombadil hehe
