Interesting question. I have felt both ways about it, so I think it depends on how well the movie is made and how well it follows the book's storyline. I cannot stand when I've read a book and then see the movie and it's a completely different story. Examples: I read the book, "The Reverant" and then my husband went and saw the movie, which he loved. He came home eager to discuss his favorite scenes with me, but none of those scenes were in the book. There were full storylines that were created solely for the movie. Also, Nicholas Sparks' novel, "The Longest Ride." I reviewed the book and when I saw the previews for the film, the story was completely different. This is very annoying.Walterevws wrote:I mean is there value added to your reading experience,does it add clarity and detail to the book or does it numb your power of imagination.
Another thing that can make it disappointing, is when you've read the book and have images in your mind of the character's appearance or the scenery, only to have the cast and setting not live up to expectations. I enjoyed reading the "Twilight" series, but found some of the casting to be a distraction because it wasn't how I had envisioned them. Then, it becomes difficult to conjure up your original perspectives on the book because they are forever tainted with visions of Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart.
