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.

Most of the time I prefer the book
But some the the movie is better then 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.

Lots of times, i prefere books more than movies.

Yes, sometimes I would.

If i have time i like to read the book first

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

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!).

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
