Sometimes I want to see the movie first to gauge whether I want to put that much time into the book/s and sometimes I feel really strongly about reading the book first. I'll admit, if the movie is based of a book I've been a fan of for a long time I feel really strongly about EVERYONE having read the book/s before the movie and preferably long before they knew it would BE a movie. Yes, I'm a hypocrite :PJasmine Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07926272577914708490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3073845280118343307.post-36822825864891251812012-03-28T19:12:56.545-07:002012-03-28T19:12:56.545-07:00I went to see The Hunger Games a second time becau...I went to see The Hunger Games a second time because my friend said she didn't have anyone else to go with. After the movie was over she turned to me and said "You're going to have to explain a lot to me. I didn't read the book and am so confused. Is there going to be a sequel?" I think scenes like the flashbacks of Peeta throwing the bread might have been really confusing for those who never read the book. Therefore, I usually prefer to read first. Plus like you said when you read first you can imagine it how you want to. Once you see the movie you start picturing the actors they cast in your head.@MelissaJoLynn_https://www.blogger.com/profile/16771038635569116950noreply@blogger.com
