Today's hectic lifestyle leaves little time to relax with a book. Intent and television have replaced the humble printed word and video games are more likely than a book. People are still writing and there is plenty to be found on the internet. Thriller novels are great favorites and often get made into films.

The best writers in this genre often get offered a film deal. The thrillers develop a story makes them easily adapted for cinema. There is normally a handsome hero or beautiful heroine as well as tension, romance and gun battles. Most producers make reasonable adaptations and the result is good entertainment. In a lot of cases however, the book is still more gripping than the film.

A book allows the reader to form their own image of the characters and scenes. The author can use description and language to conjure up the stunning landscapes or gory details of a crime scene. The reader's mind can imagine everything whereas on screen this task is done by the director or special effects team and the imagination is made redundant.

The heroes and heroines who track down the bad guys or foil the plot to take over the world can become as familiar as your own family. A series of books featuring the same protagonists can give you an insight into their psyche and you start to understand their often flawed characters. You can picture them from the description the author gives; rugged, lean, haunted eyes or a sultry temptress.

If you have a picture of your favorite character and that hero is portrayed by an actor who looks nothing like them, as a reader you can feel a little betrayed. Anyone who has read the book knows they should be Irish and red haired not a blonde Australian. The producers often deviate from the original work to try and enhance the box office sales to the detriment of the author's work.

In some instances a movie can encourage someone to read the original work. This is a fantastic for authors to gain a new audience from the movie going public. Once introduced to the genre, the new reader may try other authors or more books in the same series. Whether fiction or factual material, reading can improve spelling, grammar and broaden a person's outlook on life.

Most books are now available through online booksellers in both hardcopy and for e-readers. Many sites offer a synopsis of the plot and reviews from other readers. For those purchasing s e-book you might even be able to download the first chapter as a preview. You will also be recommended other material you might like.

There are many applications that can be downloaded to your phone or tablet so you can red anywhere anytime. Some of the sites offering e-books will offer new authors work free so that they and the author can get feedback. Classic books that are no longer copyrighted can also be found. Some of the best thrillers are ones written in the 19th century.
