What is prefferable? To see a picture or read the description in words?
About real life,probably picture is preferred.For example looking at the picture of eifil tower will be better than a ten page description.But when it comes to fiction,then i preffer words.
I watched all three parts of LOTR in two days,it was so interesting.Then i read the book.The book was far more satisfying than the movie.Main reason is that reading the words and then materializing them in the mind using our imagination gives us much more details and flexibility.

What I hated most as a child was when you got an illustration half-way through a story ...
What was that about ?
I wondered ... -

i personally prefer text to visual, when reading you become a part of the story, you have different voices for the characters you give them a personality, there is more description in text , will give LOTR it's due i watched the movies after reading the books and i was enthraled bit the same with the harry potter books. My choice though would be reading and using my imagination over movies xx

I'm like you. When it comes to fiction words are best but to see something like Wembley Stadium is better than any words.

I prefer looking at pictures my friend. I do not like to read the book after watching the movie as I get confused about trying to follow everything and everyone. xxx
