Depends sometimes the book is better than the film and sometimes the film is better than the book. A book though tells you the background as well a film doesnt. I liked the book Silence of the Lambs but prefer the film - Anthony Hopkins was brill in that talk about creepy. I watched the film Hunt for the Red October and liked that - so i read the book and liked that and started reading the rest of Tom Clancy's books but when they made the rest of them into films didnt like the films preferred the books.
