There are a few differences, though I enjoyed both (and I don't usually say that).

 Ed, Gary

 

I also enjoyed both the book and the movie.  It is really quite hard to compare the

two mediums.  Strikingly different.

 

I can really think of only 3 books that have been adapted to movies that I thought

were truthful not only to the story, but to the message and tone of the novel.

For me that means I walked away from the movie with feelings and impact that I felt

when I finished the book

 

1. To Kill a Mocking Bird

2. Catch 22

3. Slaughterhouse 5
