Andas Game comparison
I’m not a big fan of comic books and the comic version of Anda’s Game I didn’t like as much as the written version. Reading things more than once isn’t something that I do very often either, which could be why I didn’t like it as much. When you already know what is going to happen, it tends to make reading something less motivating. The one thing that I enjoyed about the comic book version is that it was an opportunity to put a face with a character. When you put a face with a character, it gives it more of a real feel to me. I loved reading the Lord of the Rings series after the movies came out because I could picture the characters and places that otherwise would have been skewed and I still found more details the movies left out. When I read or watch something I’m a person that pays attention to detail. I think that what sets apart the good from the great, the details of a book or a movie. One thing that I didn’t like about the Anda’s game story is that it didn’t have a lot of detail. It had the basic storyline and that was. There was the attention of the little things that are going to come into play. The best example of details coming back into play later in a story is J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series. I know it’s probably not the coolest thing to say, but those are excellent books. There is no such thing as an insignificant detail. Everything from the all the previous book comes into play in the 7th book. Don’t get me wrong. Anda’s Game was a good story, but the adventures of Harry Potter were altogether a great story.

You kinda get off topic a bit by bringing in Harry Potter, only because I feel like you didn't connect it as well as you could have. I also disagree with you about watching movies and reading books. A lot of the time movies adapted from books can't have all the details of the book in the movie because of time. So I feel that you can't get the real experience of reading the book and imagining the events after you've seen the movie, because you'll have the images from the movie in your mind. I understand how some movies can be exceptions to the rule, like the Lord of the Rings series, but other the books that other movies are adapted from are a pretty easy read.
