That's because readers of a novel have already made their own perfect movie version. They have visualized it, fleshed out the locations and set the pace as they either zipped through the book or scrupulously savored every word. Often they have even cast it.

The Crimson maintained its aggressive pace throughout the period and increased its cushion to 2-0 at 10:25, when sophomore winger Dave Watters stuffed the rebound from blueliner Dylan Reese’s initial shot past the sprawled Curry. But unfortunately for Harvard, the Crimson would not extend its lead despite dominating the Terriers...
