Would you prefer a book to a movie

[Eniefiok]

If you are given a book to read about a story and the movie to watch, will you rather read the book or watch the movie.

The only reason I would prefer a movie over a book is if the book is really bad. For me, it's easier to sit through a bad movie than read a bad book. But usually I'll go with the book.

No. After reading a book, I try to watch if there's d movie to make it go all down well. Or after watching a movie, I try to as much to read d book and get it all down.

That'll be a movie, definitely.

[Eman Ali]

Lots of times, i prefere books more than movies.

[Pknjo]

Yes, sometimes I would.

[K_Robinson]

If i have time i like to read the book first

[aspiringvoice27]

I prefer book rather than movie cause even small details of the story is written,,but in the movie..only the importamt part...cause need to maximize for the time frame

[DustinPBrown]

Depends, they're completely different mediums. Hunger Games I thought did a great job of adapting the books to the movies, Harry Potter less so, and Game of Thrones I think works much better as a show than as a book (don't kill me!).

[Eniefiok]

Well they are some story that would work better as a movie than a book, it all depends on what kind of story it is.

I prefer books over movies.

Maybe first I will read the book and then I will watch the movie

I really enjoy reading the book and then comparing it to the movie interpretation. Or vice versa. A really surprising example of this was a movie 'The 13th Warrior'. I love the film and found it was based on the Book 'Eaters of the Dead' by Michael Crichton. Now the film is a storming adventure movie but the book is written from the perspective of historical fact morphed into creative non fiction and then Fiction with a retelling of what is the classic story of 'Beowulf'. Comparing both formats is fascinating AND all the telling's are in there own way faithful to each other.

I prefer both but more a movie because I get to see the characters and their expressions
