RE: Misery (Ezzy's Book Read Reviews)
Hey @ezzy, like you I have seen the movie before the book. I do think the movie Misery is good, but isn't it so true that the books are always better?
I think it has to do with being able to use your imagination. You have to visualize what you are reading and your brain seems to pick the best visual. One that is unique to you. So while the directors vision might be good, your own will always be better because it is customized to you. It makes books more mystical, fantastical, and in this case - more scary. :D
Hey there, my bro!
Yes, you are spot on. That is usually the case. Sorry, but I was referring to the difference between certain elements of the book and movie. They were the same but I felt the overall feel of the movie was a lot tamer. And that was pretty full on as it was, lol! But yes, book being better than the movie is mostly always the case. :)
