Book Lovers

I often debate with my friends about whether a film adaption of a book is as good as the book itself, or the book has been better, that a film could never come near the book. Which is your favorite fairytale of all time? We all watch movies and those who are into reading habit must have noticed, mostly movie version of the books are sad and dissapointing.Though there have been some great films made from books but typically, movie versions of books just don't live up to the expectations.  Books are better than the movie Movies are better than the Books   Though in my opinion comparing a book with a movie is just as absurd as comparing a book with a theater play, a tv series with a movie. Both  are completely different modes of media, with a completely different basis. But still i want to know how many people feel, book is better than a movie or vice a versa.
