Conclusion

-Are the books better than films. Both books and films have their own merits and challenges. While books allow for deeper exploration of characters and themes, films have the potential to visualize stunning imaginative worlds and reach a wider audience. However, successful adaptations often require a delicate balance between honoring the source material and finding effective ways to tell the story in a different medium. Ultimately, both films and books have the power to captivate and inspire their audiences in unique ways.
