Ditto, second every word !! Exactly my thoughts and the very reason why I choose to read the books and prefer them as well over movies...

Books although are an version of the author, do let your imagination take off, based on what is written, for we dont see anything here , but are told and we lead to imagine...

Seeing the interpretation of someone else, the director's in the case of Movies, blocks the vision of the mind's eye!

I prefer books because when they're turned into movies, you get a particular picture in mind of the characters, settings, etc., and it can disappoint you at times when you don't see what you actually pictured while reading. With books, your imagination has no limit, so you can make your own opinion on the book, however you perceive it 😛
