In my opinion ¨th1rt3n r3asons why¨ the movie/seasonal version was better than the book. Here is why I think that. In the beginning when clay first gets the tapes and he starts to flash back it is hard to understand. In the episodes you can understand more easily by clay having a cut on his head and I noticed that when it turns to a flashback the screen turns a tinted orange/yellow. The book to me seemed a little dull like you couldn't add in all sound effects that you hear in a movie. It is a lot easier to understand in the movie than in the book. Overall I think that the movie is a lot better than the book.
