The books are so great, they are worth making them time.

Definitely would go for the book.

If they ever stop printing books and we have to read everything on those kindle things, I will cry.

WOW the Harry Potter books should be on everyones "must read" list - they're amazing and SOOOOOO much better than the movies!

I'm with Fran on Dan Brown books

but the movies

I hated LOTR books & the LOTR movies!

I'm definitely a "read the book" type of person. Reading is my destiny!

When the Jurassic Park movie came out, my father and brother and I had read the book beforehand - everyone except my mom. So when we saw it in the theater, the three of us were quietly bickering about differences much to my mom's dismay (and probably everyone within earshot).

I am a polite movie-viewer now, I swear.

Definetely read the book but I would probably want to see the movie to bring the book to life, even though your imagination is better than any film IMO. x

I would rather read the book. A movie based on the book leaves so much out and sometimes changes the whole story

I prefer books. There's so much more room for descriptions, and imagination in a book than in a movie IMO.

That said, while I have seen the Harry Potter movies, I have no desire to read the books because the subject matter is not one that I like to read.

Another who prefers the book
