    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. In my opinion though, I like the book better than the movie, because it goes deeper with important details than the movie does. The main characters Julie and R’s character development doesn’t change the way their relationship turns out.…

    Both the book Slumdog Millionaire (originally called Q&A) written by Vikas Swarup and the film adaptation of the same name directed by Danny Boyle received mostly positive reviews and critique, which cemented both of these works deep into the area they were apart of. The movie proved that you could make a successful movie using a traditional Bollywood recipe, and the book showed us how devastating and soul-crushing life in an Indian slum could be. The book also garnered an array of good feedback based on how it handled the different areas in India, and how the system was unfair in many of the different places. The book and the film adaptation have the same underlying pillars, but they differ a lot when it comes to plot and characters, and it is fairly unreasonable to say that the movie stays true to the source material of the book.…

    The book is longer and has a lot more detail than the movie. Gone is the explanatory prologue, the siege at Cassie’s house during the third wave, her odyssey in the woods, most of the fallout from her gunshot wound and the bulk of the immensely appealing and very well-written common-sense internal monologues that make Cassie, well, Cassie…the first four waves themselves are hurriedly compressed into the film’s initial half-hour; and the denouement plays as rushed and perfunctory.
