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.

There are many similarities and differences between “The Hunger Games” movie and novel version. Only a few truly stood out to me.

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.

think it is a great movie for this era‚ I had a hard time relating to the film. The advancements in film have made it hard to go back to older movies; things like digital effects and color have really made older movies seem like ancient history. The characters seemed over dramatized and unrealistic. The plot did not stick to the book and seemed to change some of the symbolism the Buck used. The book was much better then the movie and the movie did not do the book justice. The book is a good representation
