There are things the novelist can do that actors/singers can't as well. I've always thought a good novel can spin a story better than anything we SEE because our imaginations are not utilized.
I think that's why I love a good psychological thriller movie but hate a horror movie. : )
That makes sense. Another thing is that with a novel we're inside the heads of the characters. With a movie you only get as far as the skin.
Books over movies, esp. these days
there's not much if any imagination in movies today , just remakes from Older and better movies. IMO
The thing that makes a novel better is that the reader imagines most of the scenery, the voice of the characters, and many other things. Because the reader is pulling these things from things they know, the world of the book is a familiar place. As writers, it is our responsibility to provide triggers for these memories, but it is the reader who does the acting, the lighting, the set, and the sound track.
I prefer books over movies (and I love watching a good movie). As the reader, I get to be the characters, the actors. I see a mini-movie in my head as I read the words. With a movie there's a sense of disconnect. And if it's a novel turned film, I'll usually read the book first because it's always better. For example, The Help. The movie version didn't do the book justice.
