As is virtually always the case, yes, the book is better. Time not withstanding the only two where I think I'd rather watch the movie than read the book are Stand by Me and Shawshank (Andy getting raped in increased detail always made me squimish). |
Yes I'm not much of a reader but the two books that I actually read and that where made into movies Jussasic Park and The Autobiography of Malcom X where both inferior to the books. Jurrasic Park would have been R rated if it followed the book more closely and Malcom X would have been over 4 hours long if it followed the book more closely. Even though I never read the book most people consider The Godfather movie superior to the book.
