You’ve read the books?”“ I’ve seen the movies.” Cath rolled her eyes so hard, it hurt. (Actually.) (Maybe because she was still on the edge of tears. On the edge, period.) “So you haven’t read the books.”“ I’m not really a book person.”“ That might be the most idiotic thing you’ve ever said to me Rainbow Rowell
About This Quote

When you go to a movie, you expect it to be good. You read the book and you want to see the same thing in the movie. You know about the graphic details in the books, but when you see them on screen, they are often much more beautiful than you expected. However, this is not always true when it comes to books.

The best stories are told in books. Whatever happens in a book is what readers want to see. However, every time a reader reads a book he or she knows that that book will leave them wanting more.

So, when someone reads a novel and doesn’t find it compelling enough, they have no choice but to view the movie instead. The point is that everyone wants something different out of their entertainment.
