Many times, after reading the book then watching the movie the characters are nothing like we pictured in our head. Especially when we dream about the book, we put ourselves in the shoes of the main character. It’s not uncommon for us to try to picture us as the main character when reading the book too.

Getting lost in a book or movie.
There are many reasons we choose to read a certain book or watch a certain movie. Many people choose to read a really good book or watch a good movie because it helps them escape reality. When we read a book or watch a movie we can forget about the problems, worries, stress etc. around us even for a minute or two. We like to put our busy life behind us and imagine we are the main character or a character right next to the main character in the book or movie. Sometimes it’s just nice to read or watch about how beautiful, or peaceful something is, and we try to imagine how nice it would be to experience that in our life. Do you ever wish you could physically be at a certain scene in a book or movie you are reading or watching?

Getting lost in my type of book or movie.
For me I like a good zombie apocalypse style book. I really like the author, Samantha Hoffman. I feel the way she writes I really can get lost, thinking, and feeling what the main character is feeling. I am not a huge book reader, but I defiantly did enjoy her zombie series books. I felt I could connect with the main character especially if I was ever put into the obstacles and scenes that the main character had to experience. I defiantly like books I can relate to but be somewhat nonfiction. I don’t know why but I like reading about zombie apocalypses and the end of the world. When it comes to movies, I like something I can relate to and enjoy. I can watch and relate to most movies better than I can with books.
What is your preference: reading a really good book or watching a good movie and why?
