Reading the novel Choke, by Chuck Palahniuk, followed by watching the movie Choke by director Clark Greeg, puts the words you previously read, to life, on screen. There wasn’t much difference between the novel and the book in the general Story line. The main character Victor Mancini, a medical school dropout, con artist, and sex addict makes a living being a colonial “tour guide” as his mother put it, as well as pretending to choke in ritzy restaurants, taking money from the people who have saved him from his close encounters with death.

Than you have people like Denny who are addicted to masturbation, the feeling they get from it is better than anything in the world to them and they do it so much that it gets in the way of their life. You can see both the characteristics of Denny and Victor in the people on this television show. They didn’t become this way out of no where, they had issues in their childhood, or throughout their life that made them become this way. Victor had what you could call Mommy issues. The only person throughout his life he ever had a relationship growing up with was his Mother, which was never a stable in the first place. They were always on the run, how could he make any kind of healthy relationships with others, how is he supposed to learn? Now that he is grown he spends time with these women who he sees once a week at a 12 step meeting has sexual relations with, and doesn’t see or hear from them again until the next week patterns that were instilled in him as a child. Overall, the movie paralleled the book and one enhanced the other, there was never a dull moment in either one which kept you hanging
Ultimately the book was fantastic but the movie wasn’t as far as good in my personal opinion. It was one of the best books I’ve had ever read. At first it goes slow but as you get to know the characters and the plot you get addicted to the book and can’t stop reading in a good
I much preferred the movie version to the novel. For me, author William Kennedy’s style of writing is needlessly vague and difficult to follow, yet he did a wonderful job adapting
Despite having many differences the film remains faithful in capturing the novel and putting on film. While one may not get everything from the movie as from the book, the majority of it is there. So for die hard fans of the book there is no need for disappointment. All the main parts of the book are there, the characters, the plot, the setting
The plot and the setting of book and movie are very similar. There was a lot of thins borrowed from the book, but there was a lot changed as well. The movie followed the plot of book very closely and portrayed the setting of the book very well. A lot of the dialogue was borrowed and spoken directly as it was in the book.
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
They went through the roof. There were so many differences in the movie. I was able to see it visually and mentally my head. It helped me understand what was going on in the movie.

- This book is a really good book not a very good movie because they have so many differences if they would have not started in the middle of the book then it would have been really good and entertaining but it just doesn't give me the vision in my head of the whole book . A movie to me is where a book comes to life and, but it still was a good movie but could have been
The book tells the same story as the movie but in a different way it cuts out thing the movies has or the movies adds thing that's not in the book. The book has some not many similar but . I feel the director was unfaithful to the book.The book and movie version of Our America had many differences.
There are other significant similarities between the movie and the book, so if I overlooked or forgot any extremely crucial points, forgive me.
With many scenes taken away because some characters are never mentioned took away a lot of the overall meaning of the story. I didn’t feel to relate to the movie as much as I did with the novel. Leaving an apt amount of scenes out, took away some of the anticipation I was building up to. Which made me a bit disappointed.
There was some differences between the book and the movie I wanted to The actors in the movie did a really great job at acting out the roles.point out and give some of my opinions on how the movie was for me. The setting matched the books setting very well. The timeline took place during the Great depression
The book doesn’t quite depict the same emotions as the movie does, but it still does leave a void in the heart of the reader. Gary Sinise did an excellent
Both, the book and movie were very good. Many people say books are never better than the movie but in this case, I believe that the film was still true to the book and and meaning.The film did a pretty good job
