RE: NOTES FROM AN AMATEUR WRITER #47 - Books vs Movies: Who Wore it Better?
It's quite a dilemma, but I'm going to keep reading and watching either way.
I agree with this sentiment. Your explanation of the potential costs of watching the movie first, or even reading the book first seems spot on to my experience. But that's a price to pay for loving great stories, and wanting to find more of them. In which ever medium. But the best do seem to start as books
I'm interested to read your analysis of The Expanse, thanks for letting me know, I'll follow up with a visit soon.
Thanks for your response. I'm excited about reading right now, so I'm going to hold onto this feeling as long as I can. Plenty of good books and movies slated for 2018, though. Hoping desperately to hear something out of old Martin about The Winds of Winter, but I've found other and arguably better books to fill that void that has existed since I last read that series in 2013.
Anyhow, thank you for your perspective. Let me know what you think of The Expanse review. I've only read the first three, but the series is complete now as the seventh book just came out recently. Honestly I haven't read them because they are still rather expensive per book, and I haven't forked it out. Perhaps I'll drop some STEEM to buy them.
Hoping to watch the show soon, and see what I think. Wont have a chance to read the books for a while, but will check the review you wrote and let you know my thoughts. I think television production has gone up a notch recently. When it comes to dramas. Production values seem to be getting taken seriously. Perhaps this is mostly on the streaming services, but it is happening.
