Sorry, Freddy but it's true...The book is ALWAYS better than the movie...This has been one of my personal quotes since time immemorial...If you liked the movie...You will love the book...READ THE BOOKS, PEOPLE:cool:

Go ahead and list your perceptions of exceptions...I still stand by what I said:)

I cant see this working too well.

I for one dont read many books that went onto be horror films, so wont be able to vote, I reckon quite a few people here dont either.

The ones I have read, far outclass the movie anyhow.

As an English teacher, I can proudly proclaim that I probably read just as many, of not more, books than I see movies. Although both have their strong points, I prefer the book on most occaisions because the images the words create in my mind are far more satisfying than the ones the movies create for me. I'll grant, though, that there are a LOT of books whose stories would have been better told as a movie. Anyway ... as for this vote, I would have to go with the book.
