the book or the movie?

I was able to watch the movie before I read the book. I love the movie. It's such a simple yet touching love story. After reading the book, I noticed the changes that they made to the movie and I think it was done to kind of give a modern touch to the characters. I love the book more because I can read the details but I will not stop me from watching the movie again and again. =)

The book is very detailed. When you read you imagine the scenes.. you wish there is a movie of that story in the book. And then there is! You watch it and then you'll say in the book it says this while in the movie it didn't happen or what is said in the book didn't exactly happen in the movie.. So you get disappointed or soemthing. You even get confused at times. I don't really know which is better. BUt when you read the book it will take you long while if you justw atch the movie it would take two hours or less so watching the movie would be less time consuming. But we all know that many loves to read. So both are fine.

I gave you another + rating honey. I love to read and watch movies. But, reading for me is better, as it lets your imagination form opinions of characters, and the story is more in depth then a movie can be.

well, id like watching in a movie. Because it becomes more realistic and the whole story is very concrete. At leats, you will never imagine, how does such situation looks like or do like. Sometimes, we have been carried away when we see and watch over the big screen rather than making our wild imagination on what's happening over the book.

Movie, coz we can see the actor or actress express the character.We can't see it in the book, we just imagine if we read a book. I'de like watching movie a lot.

I like the movie than book.

It has big difference between the two. I like reading the book version than the film but if I didn’t read the book yet I prefer to watch the movie then. Sometimes the book tells so much that it will upset you when you see the movie lacking of scenes.

Well, reading a book allows me to use my imagination more. I see and feel a lot more of the story since I am involved. However, watching a movie, the scene and setting has been created for me and I have no control over it. If the movie produced runs too far from what I imagined... I won't like the movie. So, in many ways, I prefer reading the book.

I love Nicholas Sparks but can't really get into the moveies. I am more into action and sci/fi kind of movies. the book was wonderful.

i prefer movie bcoz i'm so lazy , so i'm interested in reading . so watch movie

Im not a book type of person so i prefer watching the movie version instead.

I've already saw all the movies about his books and i always got a bit dissapointed with it. I think they change a lot. In one movie, i even think, that the story lost the magic. While your reading you imagine everything, and watching the movie... it seems it's another story.

I like the books better because there is more to the story. The movies are nice to paint the picture.

I liked the movie a whole letter better in the book. Maybe it's because I saw the movie first before I read the book, but I liked how in the movie that Landon was portrayed as an average guy, money wise he was no different then anyone else in the town. In the book they kind of put him up on a pedastool because his family has money and jamie's does not. Plus I liked the fact that in the movie his father was a doctor and helped jamie out, opposed to the book where his father was a congressman.

i am really a book reader but nowadays i cant do that anymore.... so many thing s to do am really that busy. so i just watch the movie.

i prefer the book over the movie be it anyone...

i absolutely love the movie but i guess i love the book more...=) i cried on both, actually.
