Movie vs. Book

Why is it that the book is almost always better than the movie? I just spent twenty minutes talking to my roommate Joan about The Lovely Bones. She has read and loves the book, but has not seen the movie. I have not read the book, but have seen--and not loved--the movie.

I've had the book on my to-read list for years. She's been putting off watching the movie because she feels like she'd have to reread the book just to erase the movie from her mind.

We agreed that I will read the book and tell her whether or not she should watch the movie.

I'll keep you posted.
