Book v Film - What is your favourite?

The Boys in the Boat.
I found the film very exciting even though I knew what was going to happen, but the book because -
The thorough exploration of Nazi propaganda in relation to the 1936 Berlin Olympics.
The wonderful descriptions of boat building.
The tension which is difficult to maintain when writing about sport and yet Brown does it.

@Lugwho So do I. When you read a book, you can interpret the plot and the story to your liking. Books allow your mind to be creative.

@coffeebycandlelight I think the longer tv adaptions are better than films. A 2 hour film is too short to do a good book justice.
