Reader in example sentence
A favourite hobby -horse of mine is that comparisons between novels and filmed novels are pointless because the two media are completely antithetical.A novelist makes certain assumptions about the reader's intelligence and imagination,the filmmaker makes no such assumptions and lays everything out in front of the viewer whose only contribution to the cinema-going experience is to stay awake for the length of the picture.The movie "Millennium" makes even this small effort a chore.
