The producers of the movie added some characters. I think that some of these characters were not needed. Some characters were that fiona was not a nurturer in the book. I think that this was a good change because it made more sense that Jonas ran in got Gabriel and escaped. I think that the adaptation of Asher being a drone pilot could go both ways . Ithink this because it made the movie more action packed and to me made more sense, but to some others it didn't need to switch. I think the
