One big advantage that may or may not be mentioned here is **pacing.** With a movie or TV show, due to the time limitations, not only do you have less freedom with _content,_ but you also are limited by the ability to express the pace of the story. With a book, every reader reads at a different pace, but you can use that to your advantage. It allows you to write as complex and vivid structure as you want to express a similar span of time. Not only that, but a reader will read all the details you put down, while in a movie or show there are many that will go unnoticed. However, in cases where there are many details you want to express to the reader about something, a graphic may be helpful for visualization purposes.
