Would you prefer a book to a movie

[AbhyarnaAman]

I prefer books over movies. I can't stand a movie after reading the book on the same. It makes me feel sad for the author.

[AbhyarnaAman]

I prefer the book every time! Reading the book stirs imagination. There is so much more presented in the pages of a book. With watching the movie, you are presented with what you see and told and thats it. Books are open to the reader's discretion for what they take away from it. Reading, to me, is more involved for both the reader and the author.

For me too, the reason for choosing books would be the same, more imagination.

[AbhyarnaAman]

Movies regularly change and omit some of the most interesting and complex ideas in books. Movies while entertaining can't, in my opinion, tell the story in the same way a book can. A book is personal, a movie is general. They are made for everyone to view at one time. A book can be shared, but it was made to fit right in your hands.

Books over movies.

Or can we say the books are more detailed. Movies have everything picturized but they fail to grab attention.

[AbhyarnaAman]

well I 'd prefer to read the book first to get the details of it and watch the movie after that because if i watch the movie first i would end up reading the book knowing the plot and that would just make the experience less interesting tbh

That's right it would be difficult to read a book after watching a movie based on it. It would hamper my imagination of the storyline.

I prefer the book to the movie. If I watch the movie first, then I find the book to read.

[MariaLivaniou]

Definitely the book first, I am not gonna fall for that one ever again. ALWAYS the book first guys.

Read the book first then watch the movie late. In that case, you will have a deeper understanding of the story and characters.

[Georgephilips]

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.

I'd do both, but watching movies kinda works better!

I definitely would pick movies or books. There is something exciting watching a book play out on your screen.

[RavingReads]

I prefer the book. However, I do like to see how movies adapt the book.

[ENOCH SAGE]

I prefer the books because I can read anywhere but in other cases the movie.

[TomAPo]

I like both. Many times I will first see a movie and then be intrigued and then go find the book that it was adapted from. Recently I saw The Maze Runner and decided to buy the complete book series. The first book was very similar to the movie but I felt that the books were much better overall because they went much further into descriptions and motivations of the characters.

[Weird_Illustrator]

I would prefere to do both since I love comparing those two but if I had to choose I think I would go with the book.

[DANAWEB]

That depends on the title. If its a title like Davinci code, I prefer the book. If the title say Lord of the rings, then possibly the movie.

A book will always win over a movie/tv show to me. Books always have a ton more detail in them and I really miss that in the movies/shows when they make them. I will continue to watch the movies/shows, but I am more likely to reread a book than I am to re-watch a movie/show. Especially if the movie/show is based off of a book.
