Frequently speaking (and I know there are exceptions to this rule), only well-liked and high excellence books get chosen up by some studio and get made into a feature film. This stacks the deck a not much bit. If each book (good or bad) got completed into films, the we’d hear a lot more people favoring the movie version. However, when you start with a great book, and then combine that with the 2 other items already scheduled in points #1 and #2, then a movie report is almost doomed to lose out in the “which was better – book or movie” competition that the reader/viewer has going on in their minds.
So there you have it. My sudden thoughts on why the vast majority of people who have read a book usually favor the page to the screen when a film version it comes out. There are obviously exceptions to all the rules listed above, but in general I’ve usually found these to be true.
Your opinion?
