Plus, movies have hidden messages and hints you couldn't find in a book.
i.e.
Spoiler:
Tyler Durden's reflection in Fight Club(movie)
Completely disagree.
Books are more interesting than their movie counterparts simply for the antithesis of Dusty's statement. The chemistry that is taken to put a book together is more intriguing than a book. Whereas a movie simply takes someone else's layout and simply tweaks it to look good, a book has more information, the correct explanations, and had to start completely from scratch.
You can't get more descriptive than a book compared to a movie.
Plus books have hidden messages, hints, and flat out extra storyline that is many times better than a movie.
i.e.
Spoiler:
More trick quotes from Tyler that involves himself and the narrator, More in depth scenes in which our two heroes make soap (with marla's mother), more project mayhem than ever before, Marla's confusion over the Tyler/Narrator aspect of the story, and more of an explanation of the "goings on" in an actual Fight Club.

Books by far! They are much more detailed, with more depth, developments and information. Movies are restricted by budgets, the actors, directional choices and overall length. Books don't have those 3'rd party burdens and can be sooo much more impressive than any film.
Agreed.
Books. Definitely. I like movies, but I like books much better, because instead of being shown everything, it's described to you and it's up to your imagination to visualize it. Books also aren't constrained by things like budgets and time limits so they can fit in much more without being rushed and can go into much more detail.
I picked Movies..but i prefer both..i am not much of a reader..i like when it is in movies..where emotions are acted out..it is a bit harder if you don't have much of an imagination to visulize it (i do have an imagination btw)
in books...you are more in control of what you think everyone is feeling etc..the book could be extremly long and no boundries
