" With every book we read, each of us sees a movie in our own head that is unique to us. Maybe we should leave it that way."

I know one person who read all of the Harry Potter books and refused to see any of the movies because he didn't want to disturb the images in his mind. Not everyone reads so well, but for those that do, if a book creates a world, seeing a production designer's interpretation of that world can be very jarring.
