Books are WAY better. You get to base the scenes in your mind based on the writing and not on a budget strapped, group of egocentric actors, directors, producers, and marketing geniuses, and wokeness Nazi’s.

I much prefer to read. Loved “The Bonfire of the Vanities.” I haven’t seen the movie. I did read “The Right Stuff” and see the movie. No question as to which was better. Wolfe’s writing style is hard to capture on screen.

The only exception I can think of where the movie was better than the book is “Jaws.” Sorry, Peter Benchley, but the whole affair with Ellen and Hooper and the Mafia subplot were unnecessary to the story. Making the movie simply man vs. shark was the way to go.

Jurassic Park by Chricton is one of my fav books, and the movie was one of by favs too. The Lost World book and movie both sucked.

I haven’t read the Right Stuff but that cast and script for the movie, can’t get much better.

Lesser known, but brilliant writing... "I Am Charlotte Simmons." It's a great novel that would not translate to screen very well.
