Well, I don't know how pithy this is, but:
This whole story plays like a movie in my head already. And no director can compete with what's going on in there. My camera angles are probably not physically possible, most particularly in the love scenes. And replays! Over and over and over....SIGH. Then there are the sounds, the smells, the sensations. No, the book is always better than the movie, especially one written this well.
