My dear,
A book’s purpose is to collaborate with your mind in building a world inside your head. A movie does all the work for you. Your input is not required. Not wanted.
So, why see the movie when you can read the book?
Never judge a book by its movie.
For the world the book builds with you is far, far better than the world the movie pushes on you.
Far, far better.
Falsely yours,
J. W. Eagan
