Would you rather have someone spoil a book ending for you or see a movie before reading a book?

Neither….but I guess the movie. I did that with the movie Brooklyn, which I loved!

I don’t like either but I know books are always better than the movie. So if I saw the movie and it peaked my interest I would read the book after.

Angie

No! Neither, but if I have to choose, I’ll see the movie.

Wendy

See the movie.

Peggy

See a movie before reading a book.I do that on purpose sometimes.

Lori

I hate seeing a movie before reading the book.

Angie

I’d rather see the movie. I will not read the book if someone actually tells me the end

Adria

Movie. Other than Lord of the Rings, all movies based on books have been such a disappointment that I’ve already decided not to read a book before a movie so it doesn’t ruin it for me.

Pam

Neither, but probably see the movie

Lynda

See the movie as movies are often only somewhat the same as the book. However I would not like either. I always read the book first.

Heather

See the movie I guess. I had someone spoil the end of movie once (some bizarre woman in the popcorn line) and I’ve never forgot how awful that felt.

Vicki

See the movie. When my older kids were teens, we ordered multiple copies of the Harry Potter books as they came out..swearing one another to secrecy..WOE unto anyone who revealed ANYthing before we all had a chance to finish. This was me, hubby, and oldest 6 kids. THEN we had so much fun critiquing each book…same with the movies. Then we would compare the book to the film…it was great.

Corinne

Neither of these scenarios would bother me in the least.

Heather

See the movie first… Nothing annoys me more then spoiling the end of something. At least with seeing the movie first, it would help pronouncing names (like I do most of the time) or visualizing a character lol

Rhonda

See the movie. I actually prefer to see the movie before reading the book anyway.

Kayleigh

See the movie. I hate spoilers. With a movie, I can pretend it’s different!

Crystal

See the movie!

Carol

I would rather see the movie before reading the book.

Courtney

Honestly I don’t mind either, I need to make sure my favourites haven’t died ?
