There are many movies based on novels.
Which one do you prefer?
Watching the movie/tv show first, then reading the novel. Or the other way round.

Same here 😛 I love reading the book first in detail and then watch the movie.
But I am not able to do the same with Game of thrones😆..I don't think I'll ever complete those books..so I am thinking of downloading all the episodes 😆

Book book only.
I have had experiences where movies are no comparision to the book we read.
We go with big expectations and get nothing much so its only books for me 😛

I would say books, but there are times when movies exceeded the book.
For example, The Spectacular Now, Into the Wild and The Book Thief. They were so much better than the books, IMO! So, I am not sure. But I would say the mainstream movies that adapts YA books mostly sucks! They can never live up to the book. Even HP books beats the movie franchise any day😉

I always prefer to read the book first😳..even though sometimes they can ruin the movie for me.😆 I could not enjoy most of the HP movies as much as I should have despite the fact that they were well made.😆
