I think the books are better. They let you form your own images in your mind. Books kind of let you personalize how you see the story. Books also have kind of a realism to them. I can just feel as if I'm there when something is happening. As for the Movies, it sort of seems corny. And it's kind of hard to get that aura from reading the books when watching the movies. And the actors can have an effect on how you see the movie, if they have been in other movies. The Books are something that I have become more attached to than the movie. And I think that one reason is because of the length and detail that you get in the book. I just appreciate the story more. Watching FotR will take only 3 1/2 hours, however, reading FotR will take a week or so.
