Absolutely. Reading is a fundamentally different way of experiencing things than passively viewing them in movies or TV. Reading is thinking. I feel a great deal easier about a young person reading an adult story than I would having them watch the movie.
I vividly remember a parent asking me if a particular book was alright for her son, and thinking that it didn't really matter because there was no way that kid could have read anything more advanced than Go Dog Go.
