I have always preferred books to the movies created from them. The sense of dissatisfaction that lingers after I watch a movie was never there when I read it's book. Maybe that's because a book lets your mind go to those places where those words went, imagine those things that the words did, feel the life in those words. It's your imagination that endears a book to you. Whereas a movie is the imagination of a director, an actor. It is impersonal. Your mind can go only to the places where the director's or actor's mind goes.
