Books are sometimes considered better than movies, and they simply provide some things that movies cannot provide. For example, books have less stimulus than movies do, allowing more imagination and cognition. The reader has to imagine what the characters look like, and also have to imagine how the environment looks. Books can also be much more detailed than movies. All of the book to movie adaptions always cut out some of the story, which shows that books can contain more. However, this is because most people don't read a book all at one time, where for movies, they would watch one all at once. Books provide more detail, and leave things to the reader's imagination, which movies just cannot do.
