What Is Better? A book or a movie based on a book?
That is the question.
The answer is debatable.
Many people have searched for this answer and finally one man has the final say.
ME!
There are many pro and cons on each side of this fence but I believe that the answer is clear. I believe that a movie outweighs a book because of many reasons. First of all I do not overly enjoy reading so that is the first tick for movies. I also believe that I take in alot more information when it is visual.
Books are good however for developing people's reading and writing skills. Reading can also increase your vocabulary and help you at school.
For example I read the novel Holes in English a few years ago and lost interest halfway through the book. Then later in the year we watched a movie based on the book and I loved it. I have now watched it many times and still enjoy it whereas I couldn't even read the book once.
The best thing about movies is that even if the movie is bad you still get the visual image of what is going on whereas if the book is bad you sometimes can't even picture what is going on. I also enjoy watching movies with family and friends but I do not enjoy reading with other people or having a book read to me. However, reading is more of a private thing and can be good when you want to relax and have some peace and quiet.
Overall though I believe a movie is better than a book.
