Is the Book Better than the Movie?

A constant argument is whether the book or the movie is better. When a book is made into a movie, readers and fans are curious to see how the film turns out. Did the director stay true to the story? Did the actors and actresses do the book justice? Was the book better? Does the movie measure up at all? I, personally, am a fan of Tom Clancy, especially the Jack Ryan movie series. I liked watching Harrison Ford in "Patriot Games" and "Clear and Present Danger". I would liked to have seen him in "Debt of Honor" where he puts his private sector know-how to work to avoid a Wall Street meltdown. Stop me if you've heard of Wall Street collapsing before. I was disappointed in "Sum of All Fears". I blame the writers and directors for that one. If you've read the book, don't watch the movie. Readers of this blog know about The Oppressed and her infatuation with books , especially mythology and Rick Riordan's "Percy Jackson" series
