If you had to choose between reading a book or watching a movie, which would you choose?
You probably won’t be shocked to learn I’d rather read the book. However, there are a few exceptions.
Here are my opinions on a handful of titles.
A Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
The book:
The movie:
The verdict:
Watch the movie, skip the book. The book is a cute little children’s story. The movie is funny and engaging for all ages. It’s one of our favorite family movies!
Just Mercy
The book:
The movie:
The Verdict:
The movie was excellent, but READ THE BOOK! It’s powerful.
Where’d You Go, Bernadette?
The book:
The movie:
The verdict:
I absolutely LOVED this book. It’s RARE that I find a fiction book that I love so much that I not only recommend it to others, but also re-read it. This is one of the few. The MOVIE was nearly as good as the book. I recommend you read the book and watch the movie!
Harriet Tubman
The book:
The movie:
The verdict:
Well, both were excellent, but I preferred the book. Harriet is a HERO! I recommend you watch the movie, then read the book.
Little Women
The book:
The movie:
The verdict:
The book is a classic, so I have to give credit to the original novel that has been loved for generations and inspired so many spin-offs. But I watched the movie first and read the book second and enjoyed the movie more than the book.
The Blind Side
The book:
The movie:
The verdict:
BOTH!!! The movie highlights Michael Ohr and has football as a backdrop. The book highlights football with Michael as the backdrop. Both are excellent and earn 10 out of 10 stars.
