The year is 1987 and A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors is coming out in theaters. What better time to capitalize on Freddy Krueger, than by releasing novelizations of A Nightmare on Elm Street, A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge and Dream Warriors. The first two movies never had novelizations at the time, so it was the perfect chance to put them in book form. As for Dream Warriors, the author XXX, based his book on an early screenplay of the movie, so the story comes out much different than the movie we got, which makes it one of the top reason to buy the book.
We'll start with the first A Nightmare on Elm Street. The book follows the movie as close as possible, never deviating from the main story at all. So, if you've seen the movie, you've read the book. The dialog is the same and the scenes are the same. Nancy and her friends are all dreaming of Freddy Krueger, who systematically starts killing Nancy's friends, until it's just her and him in a standoff. It was fun to experience the story in book form, but nothing new is provided, which is a real bummer. I love when extra bits are added in novelizations, so colour me disappointed.
A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge follows suit with the first

The overall story is the same, with Kristen heading to Westin Hills Psychiatric Ward, where she and a bunch of other Springwood kids are experiencing troubling dreams of Freddy Krueger. Nancy, from the first movie comes to help and we discover that each kid has a special ability to fight Freddy with. It's near the end of the book where things differ and the story has the kids and Freddy bouncing back and forth from the dream world to reality and different people die, compared to the movie. It's definitely an interesting read, but I still prefer the movie
Also, the novel and movie have other differences that were all very appealing. In the novel when Killer Kane kidnapped Max he brought him underneath the streetlight, while in the movie he didn’t. Also, in the novel Freak didn’t drive any vehicle, but in the movie he drove the van to rescue Max from Killer Kane. The best part of the story, though, is when they meet. In the novel they meet by living near each other since they were neighbors. In the movie they meet since Freak was Max’s tutor. Finally, the novel tells us that Freak had a seizure on his birthday, but in the movie he has it on Christmas.
The first difference that caught my eye was how there was no cat, in the book there was a cat named, Sammie, and Sammie always got stuck in one of Billy’s traps. But in the movie
Rick Riordan's book The Lightning Thief and Chris Columbus' movie Percy Jackson and The Olympians: The Lightning Thief are both very similar. The Lightning Thief was released in 2005 by Rick Riordan and sold over 20 million copies, and Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning thief was released on February 12, of 2010, directed by Chris Columbus and made over 200 million dollars worldwide! The book and the movie are similar because both the book and the movie have the same overall theme which is
When the socs and the greasers are going to have the big rumble in the book Darry asks if anyone wants to fight him but in the movie the person that he fight in both the book and movie says he will fight him. After the big rumble Dally and Ponyboy go to see Johnny who is almost dead and after he dies Ponyboy freaks out in the book and thinks he's not dead but in the movie it is only Dally. In the book Dally goes and robs a grocery store but in the movie he robs the gas station. When Dally leaves in the movie the guy shoots Dally and injures him but in the book he never had a gun. When Dally is shot by the police he is shot at the park in the movie but in the book he is shot in the street under the lamppost. There is so much more differences in the movie but it would be impossible to say them all so that is all of the differences i found from the book and
The novel and the movie were both very suspenseful. The main characters are both the same in the book and in the movie but are a little bit different then their counter partners in the novel/movie. In both the movie and
The 3 major differences that were seen are the shattering of the conch, the pilot’s presence, and Ralph’s attitude towards Piggy. Due to these major differences the novel left a greater impact on its readers than the movie on its viewers. Seeing the movie and as well reading the book, personally the book was a better. The book has a very different approach of that showed these 3 major differences to their full extent. Out of the two though, I would choose the book as more pleasant and
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland written by Lewis Caroll was originally published on November 26, 1865. On the other hand, the movie version, directed by Clyde Geronimo, Wilfred Jackson, and Hamilton Luske and produced by Walt Disney, was published in 1951. Carroll's book has twelve chapters and begins by describing a girl who named Alice that falls down a hole and finds herself in wonderland. In comparison, the movie begins with a scene not included in the book in which Alice sings about “her world,” foreshadowing wonderland. In the beginning, the versions are similar. Alice follows the rabbit because she is bored with her sister who only wants to read books with pictures. When she follows the rabbit, Alice finds herself in a different world. The difference is that in the book when Alice comes to the place, she finds the rabbit and follows him until she sees many doors. In the movie, however, the door talks to her instead.
Both share the same plot, and there are very little differences between the two. These are a few of the differences that I was able to notice between the book and the movie. There are several others throughout the story, but they are all just as minute and in the end they have no effect on the outcome of the story. Overall, I was very impressed with the movie and it was very true to the book. I have seen my share of movies that were adaptations from books that did not do the book justice, but this one is almost exactly like the book, so it was very
The novel and the movie share many similarities.The book and the novel share the same problems. A example johnny and pony run away since johnny killed bob.In both johnny gets injured badly and dies.
Differences (stick with at least four)- Ponyboy has a good relationship with sodapop and gets along better with darry but still has a very good relationship with his brother. In the beginning of the book, Pony gets jumped by some Socs, but he doesn’t get cut with a knife. In the movie, they cut him. In the movie when ponyboy is talking to cherry he says how the sun on the south side and she says”good how bout the north.” In the book it's written west and east. Also in the movie johnny never got his first beating from the soc in the book he does. In the book it gave more detail and information in the movie it starts like in mid way of the book.
The movie and book have a few similar qualities. One similarity is they both tell/show that Dallas (dally) gets shot down by the police. After Dally robs a store the police shoot him. Another similarity is the little kid bites Pony. When Pony is helping save the little kids from inside the burning church, one kid bites Ponyboy’s finger. With as much as we know the similarities lets move on to the differences.
The book and movie are different, but they do have some similarities with them like the fighting and the fire. Johnny killed Bob the same way it was in the book and movie. Plus not to mention how the two teenagers were heroes when they rescued those kids from the fire, In the movie, some parts are played out word by word as it was in the book but between the clips there are some differences as it is mentioned up
There were a lot of differences that I noticed between the book and movie. One of the differences that I really liked is how we got a sense of Abigail’s insanity in the movie. She looks and sounds a lot more convincing in the movie than in the book. One thing that I noticed is that in the movie, when Abigail is trying to wake Betty up, many of the girls who has also danced with them were there as well, yet in the book it was only Abigail, Betty, Mercy and Mary Warren in the room. Then when Betty finally awakes and starts to yell for her mother, Abigail is very harsh in the way that she yells at Betty telling her that her mom is "dead and buried.
Here are some differences with the characters. Meg one of the main character's in the book has glasses and braces, but in the movie she doesn't have braces or glasses. Another main character is Charles-Walace and in the book he is five, doesn't go to school, and can't read, but in the movie he is six go's to school, and can read well. These are the differences
Do you enjoy crime solving books? The book Cruel and Unusual by Patricia Cornwell was published by pocket star books and was published in 1993. It is 409 pages long. The book starts off when the Chief Medical Examiner, named Kay Scarpetta, walks into an autopsy of a murderer named Ronnie Waddell who just got executed. A little bit after the execution a little boy is killed the same way that Wadell killed people. Waddell's DNA was found near the body. One of Kay’s old FBI friends, Benton Wesley, and a homicide investigator, Pete Marino, help Kay Scarpetta figure out how a deceased Ronnie Waddell can murder a little boy. I think that Cruel and Unusual was very interesting and addicting to read.
