Dead right, troll! And life is a mirror like that too, only it's a far bigger one. Just observe what a person says about life, and you've got a good diagnosis of their basic character.

I think that in general, though, people who read the books first will prefer the books, while people who saw the movies first will prefer the movies. That would be fairly typical wouldn't it? The first experience of anything is the one that sets the pattern of familiarity and expectation.

Of course, there will still be the odd exception to that, but only among individuals of a particularly wretched and vile sort, warped from birth, and forever cursed to outer darkness...like Peter T. :-)
