Book or the movie?

Comment:

I got finished reading the book Shiloh and watching the movie Shiloh in class. I loved both of them so much! I have a question, have you cried before while writing the book, cause I was pretty close to. Also which do you prefer, the book or the movie, I can’t decide.

I cried when we had to leave that little dog behind when we left our friends in West Virginia.  We had two big cats waiting for us at home, and we really didn’t know if the dog had an owner or not.  (I was so glad to finally hear from our friends that the dog was still hanging around, and they had adopted her).  I think an author would always prefer her own book, no matter how much she loved the movie, which I do.  But the book tells more about Marty and Judd than a movie possibly can.
