Only the second statement is generally true.

- Books can include more details because they are not limited to about two hours in length. Novels have space to develop subplots, background, interior thought and description that films usually must condense.

Why the others are incorrect or misleading:
- "Books can include more intense dialogue than a feature film." Not a reliable general difference. Both media can have very intense dialogue; books often include more interior monologue and longer exchanges, but films can convey intensity through performance, pacing and visuals.
- "Books, unlike feature films, are limited to a single point of view." False. Books may use a single or multiple points of view, and films can likewise shift perspectives or focus on one character.
- "Books can use special visual effects that are too difficult to recreate on screen." Misleading: books can describe anything (including things hard to visualize), but they don't "use visual effects." Films use visual effects, and some book-described scenes may be difficult or costly to reproduce on film.
