Book or film preferred?

[graeme]

a film will never beet a good book as nothing is greater than your imagination being brawn in to story a filem takes that away in most cases

I have a LOT of books.Books are brilliant,way better than films.You don't have to miss anything if you suddenly get hungry,or need the loo.You can identify better with the characters in a good book,and can spend many a happy hour with like minded friends discussing who you'd cast!Nobody coughing or rustling crisp bags,or tripping over your legs during a good bit....and no lanky bugger in front of you gets between you and the page.But the best bit is how much deeper you are involved.You control how fast you read it..and how vividly you picture the scene.It's often better the second time around,understanding more,or seeing something you missed the first time.Some books I read so often it's like an annual catch up with my friends!!

It needs to be remembered that when a film is made based on a book that because the book is often a great deal longer than a film can incorporate that chunks will be edited hence many saying the film was crap or the book was crap!

It really does depend on each individual film and book. Some are great some not.[/FONT][/SIZE]
