Book Film
They differ in some scenes . I
mean some scenes of the book
aren’t on the film.I think has more
impact the book because there
are some missing scenes that are
very notable . I prefer the opening
of the book.
In the book in the scene king it doesn’t stick to the plot , for
offers the money to starr , they example when king offers the
are on the shop and king arrives money they are all on the car and
there while in the film. King carries them to the shop.
Are there lot of differences which
change too much the plot .
The ending of the book finished
when they burned Mavericks
store/house and sekank was with
the gun ,while in the film this part
isn’t added and end with the
crowd I don’t remember the end
well.
All of them are like I expected
except one , Seven wasn’t like I
expected I thought he would be a
typical tall boy that loves sport .
The typical boy that appears in
films for teenagers.the sound and
how they act was what i expect.
