That’s an interesting perspective, Father.

Familiarity does temper the effect of one medium over the other. I think The Exorcist is one film that matched closely to what my imagination did reading the book. That is a rarity for me at least.

Did you find the book easy and a quick read? I was done it a couple of days which is lightning for me!

Thanks for the reply, father.

I know it sounds like walking the fence but I to agree both are great in their own ways.

With that said I do prefer the movie over the book but only slightly. I think one of the reasons is that I saw the movie many times before I read the book. Knowing the story well resulted in a less scary and suspenseful read imo. otoh I was frightened badly by the masturbation scene from the book.
