I prefer watching movies because motion pictures stick more to my memory that words trying to paint a picture.

The best way would be to read the book, then watch h the movie. However, reading the book always takes time.

For me, read the book first then watch its movie is the best thing.

It depends upon the situation. Sometimes watching the series first helps us picturise while reading the book.

Reading the book for sure. The book has each and every detail, but in movies, most are skipped! If you don't like reading book than you should probable watch the movie. BUT NEVER WATCH THE MOVIE AFTER READ THE BOOK, I repeat NEVER!
