But, surely you can't be suggesting that people who see the films first enjoy the books more? If so, you're asking for trouble ...
no, I just meant that it seems to me that people who saw the film(s) first could enjoy the movies without comparing them to the books and then read and enjoy the books to find out the details and "what really happened" so to speak. whereas it seems from comments I've read that many fans of the books can't/don't enjoy the movies as well because they immediately notice the 'differences' and to some degree don't 'get over' them. I've felt that way about TTT myself and my comment was more of a wistful looking-back sort of thing than a blanket statement of who can enjoy what better.
