Hi

An interesting thread Michael.

I agree with most of the comments for those that I have both read the novel and seen the films/TV adaptations.

I wonder though if the actual sequence in which ones reads/watches them is important.

To me if I have read the book first I usually find that I don't enjoy the visual presentations as much.

However one that I think that the film was better than the book was Frederick Forsythe's Day of the Jackal. I found the film totally gripping.

I do think that Forsythe is a brilliant writer and enjoyed all the ones I have read. But for me the film was superb.

Cheers
