Would you prefer a book to a movie

[Leonie Vermaak]

Absolutely and most definitely the book!!
I've been disappointed so many times by movies it's not even funny. I think what irritates me most is when the book describes the characters in a certain way and then the screenwriters go and mix up the looks of the characters. Eg. in The Vampire Diaries, Bonnie is a redhead and Elena is a Blonde in the books and then when you watch the series, it's a question of "how on this earth did they get it right to mess the looks up so completely"? I also feel it's insulting to the writer, as the writer put so much thought into their characters and then the screenwriters and movie makers go and destroy the image.

[Bello Qudus]

Yes if the book is captivating

[Helen Akoth]

I prefer reading. I only watch movies once in a while.

[Elijah0007]

I would prefer to watch the movie. I will always prefer to watch the movie first.

[Almira789]

As much as I love books, I can see I prefer a movie. When watching a movie, I can see what’s happening. Reading a book can be a little daunting as we are the directors of what we read.

[Olaoluwa Ruth]

I prefer books honestly. It allows me to use my imagination and formulate the characters how I want. Watching a movie can be a but disappointing because it doesn't carry the emotions and detail of books

[Etini Willie]

I find movies boring. I struggle to watch movies. I read books almost everyday. So book beats movies for me

[Karen Gurtiza]

Absolutely. I love writing my favorite quotes on a book.

[Meenahhhh]

To be honest, I prefer movies.

[Jordan Abio]

I prefer a book to a movie. I also like to watch the movie after reading the book to see how the movie adapted the book.

[Leasa Ana Maria]

I would always choose the book instead of the movie.

[kasedy Fairbairn]

Lately it’s been all about books for me. The only time I watch movies is if my husband puts something on that sucks me in.

[AvishaJain_13]

Yes, always the books except in some rare cases

[Loniya Chabili Mubanga]

Only when I really disliked the book but am willing to give it a second chance from a different perspective.

[Faatimah Noormahomed]

99% of the time I would choose the book. Usually with book-to-movie adaptations, they have to leave out a lot of details from the book because of the time limit... so I feel like you don't get to know the characters as well through a movie. And the plot can sometimes feel rushed as well.
