    In the book, however, it went into more detail about how distant she was with her father. In the end, both the book and the movie have many similarities and differences.

    Why I preferred the book well to start with it gives lots of details instead of the movie. It does actually mean a lot if I like a book because I tend to be very picky about what I read. the book plot, story, theme, everything was so well done and thought out that once you start reading it, it is hard to put it down and stop reading. Reason why it is so hard to stop reading it well every chapter pretty much end with a cliffhanger. Great books like this one are very hard to come by.…

    Like many other movies derived from books, there are numerous differences. The book has many people who aren't named in the movie, and the movie shows scenes that the book does not. The book described the Abramowiczs as a fairly poor family in a small shtetl, but in the movie it shows a wealthy family in a big village. There are also many similarities between the book and the movie. Both the book and movie contain the same main ideas in the plot, and have more or less the same storyline.…

    Ironically due to the storyline; the book is better than the movie, because it is shows better description, character analysis, and it gets the point across to the reader to show what leads up to the main idea. While, the movie it is more vague and fast paced so it's hard to comprehend the storyline. The book is more illustrative than the movie. For example, the…

    The lack of detail is more entertaining since it's less for the brain to take in and process. Even though there are a few scenes that are brief, the amount of detailed, informing scenes outweigh the entertaining ones. Since the book is detailed so thoroughly, more information means more brain work. Meaning it’s less entertainment and more processing. Some people might say, both the book and the movie are to entertain, but they’re wrong.…

    In “The Landlady”, Billy Weaver is lured into a seemingly normal bed and breakfast by an old lady who, despite her gentle and unthreatening appearance, wants to kill him. It is a story about how those with cruel intent may take advantage of those who are innocent and naive. Although the book and the movie can be arguably similar if generalized, there are many differences that may change the way a reader/viewer may grasp the concept of the story. Since a movie and book cannot be exactly the same, the film version is bound to have things that differ from the text. One example of how the book develops the development of the story is with the setting.…

    To me, I believe the book is better than the movie. The book has more in depth scenes in it that was not shown in the movie. One difference in the book is Charlotte was viewed as a person to look up to by the other animals, while in the movie the animals thought that Charlotte was strange. Another difference I noticed was the book never mentioned a particular setting while the movie created a specific setting in Somerset County. I would recommend the book and the movie to anybody who is looking to read a good fiction book with an inspiring message for the…

    It seems an unfair view to expect a movie about a book to be exactly the same down to every single detail. Communities of fans will always find something wrong with a story, for it has “failed” to match expectation. Books are a place where someone can be dragged into the story and forget about everything else for a short while. Movies do the exact same thing, except it is seen as an easier way than books for a lot of people. Ignoring obvious differences (such as the fact that one is in picture form, and the other is in words), movies and books may not be so different after all.…
