Which do you prefer, to read the book and then see the movie
or see the movie and then read the book? Personally, I’m a bit backwards, I
prefer to see the movie and then read the book. I like this way because movies
based on books give me a detailed plot summary of the story. If I enjoy the
movie, chances are I will enjoy the book. (Except for with Les Misérables, as much as I enjoyed that movie, that book has like
1,000 pages! Truthfully, I just can’t see myself reading that.) However, I saw
the movie Life of Pi before I had
finished the book, and I think only after I knew where the story was going
could I really enjoy the journey. Ultimately, I ended up liking that book a lot
more than I thought I would. Also, with The
Perks of Being a Wallflower, I saw that movie before I read the book, and I
adore them both. Overall, I feel the reason I like this is that being able
to see the characters before I really know much about them makes me care more
about their stories than when I know everything about them right away. In other
news, I am very excited for the new Gatsby movie, and I actually read that book
first, thanks Ms. DeBlasio :)

P.S. Yes Gatsby, I do think it’s too much.
