Book versus film?

I read the book first and the film didn't do it justice in my opinion. I am a big fan of Tom Hanks but the characters that my imagination created were a lot more real than what I saw onscreen. I loved the journey of deciphering symbols in the book which appears to be superficial in the film. What did you think of the Da Vinci Code? If you read the book and saw the film, which did you prefer and why?

When it comes down to book vs. film, I am going to choose book 99.9% of the time. I thoroughly enjoy reading, I read WAY too much, LOL. I love being able to picture things in my mind and I love getting lost in the pages :). When it comes to Dan Brown, his book Angels & Demons was far better in my opinion and they ARE coming out with the movie, this year I *Think*. I will see it :).

Yes I also read the book first and then the film. I liked to read the book than film because I think the book has so many minute details of everything and Dan Brown has described every scene so beautifully that while reading you are virtually there with them. But the film don't have that impact. So I think I will prefer to read the book than watching movie.

I read the book and have seen the film.. somehow the film didnt live upto my expectations.. the book was far more detailed and interesting.... the suspense that held me in the book didnt do so in the film!

This is a great one of browns, suspense and mistery. I like all his book collections and its highly fictious.
