Question

Do you usually prefer books or movies?

Answer

Books.brbrInvariably the experience of reading the novel is broader, richer, more detailed, etc. I feel like I know the characters in a book, because it has opportunity to make them wellrounded and real.brbrA movie has only a couple of hours and is limited to what the audience can see and hear. Its difficult to show the audience anything else without it seeming forced, like a character telling another character about his tragic past or his fantasies.brbrA novel has all the time it wants, and can share thought, emotion, experience, the past, hopes and dreams, fantasy, and more, in a way that seems consistent with characters who would not tell a living soul some of those secrets.
