Is it just me or do they seem disproportionately bad? If you think not, what are the good ones?

Metro 2033 was better than the book it was based on.
I suppose I honestly enjoyed Narnia, though just left Otherland dissapointed. There are so many games based off of something out there....or even spun off of, like McGee's Alice was a blast IMO

It's not unique to videogames.
Adaptations of books into movies and similar such adaptations and franchising often fail in various ways.

Typically, there is a balance required between maintaining canon and , against the pacing and scale restraints including the production requriements for tropes etc. Certainly deviations from an original storyline can be problematic, it is also unreasonable to expect a perfect reproduction since much of a novel's majesty is in the imaginative inspiration of the reader's fantasy.
Most often, the cause for such failings is placed at the feet of the producers economic vision, rather than a creative work in homage to the original.

I think this is a pretty good game based off of a book/short story:

Weirdly enough. X-Men Origins: Wolverine Was far superior to the film, and a pretty fun game too.
Ducktales
Batman: Arkham series.
Goldeneye 007
The Wolf Among Us.
