A movie adapation can be a brilliant visual and visceral experience, as long as you aren't carrying expectations from a book. And then I can still love the book... after watching the movie. Means I'll wring double the pleasure from the story -- what's not to love about that idea? Cheers! M I think I’m gonna have to change my habits because you’re absolutely right, Lisa.

Means I’ll wring double the pleasure from the story — what’s not to love about that idea?

With the exception of one book,(Cold Mountain)I have always thought the book was better than the movie. If I read the book first, I'm always saying to myself, nope that's not what happened and I know what to expect. It nice to see if the movie makes sense without the knowledge gained by reading the book. I can enjoy the movie if I have no expectations and then read the book and still love both of them.
