The book or the movie?
Personally, I prefer the book. Not because I am a librarian. The books tell the whole story - all the thoughts, descriptions, and dialogue - the full story. Movies need to cut out most of the internal dialogue a character has. The director decides how to interpret the people and places in the book for the movie. They change parts that don't translate well to the screen.
When you read a book, you make your own mind movie. Our imaginations create the character based on how we read the descriptions. We react to the internal dialogue of a character based on our experiences, not how a director wants us to react.
The next time you want to see a movie made from a book, read the book first. My bet is you will like the book more. Of course, it doesn't mean you can't or won't like the movie!
BTW, check our Books to Movies display in the library.
