O Pioneer’s was a good movie‚ but an even better book. The movie did a good job at getting the point of the story line across‚ but not so much with the character development. I actually finished the book after watching the whole movie so I knew what to expect. I anticipated everything that was going to happen because I wanted to know if it would be the same as the movie.

However‚ due to previous attempts of portraying her works on film‚ I was actually left more skeptical instead (The pilot for the planned television series based off of Delirium was an absolutely disgusting mess). Thankfully though‚ this time things were done right. The movie stayed true to the book with minimal changes/cut out parts. There were some scenes that I wish had

How many times have you said about a movie "it was good but I preferred the book"? The great thing about books is that they do not have a run time limit because the words are in control of everything. Character’s can be described however the author wants and the readers can imagine the character rather than a movie‚ which has to find the right person who fits the look of the character.

Narration happened in an immensely descriptive style creating an imaginative visualization in the reader’s mind instead of it all being present in a form of a long movie.
