Killer Kane did strangle Loretta in both the novel and movie, but in the book he strangled her in a burnt building and in the movie, an apartment. Also, in the novel Freak gets Max a pyramid, while in the movie he gets him a book. Max and Freak did retrieve Loretta Lee’s purse in both, but in the novel there was no fight with Tony D. while there was a fight in 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. Whether you read the book or watch the movie it is very enjoyable. It teaches you life lessons of friendships. It is very intriguing and I recommend this book to
Comparing the book to the movie you can clearly tell what certain things are different. For example, Sydelle Pulaski worked for Mr. Westing in the movie but only talked over the intercom.

This made a little bit more serious and emotional instead of just letting it go.
For instance, in the book Joppy knew Albright; Albright knew Todd Carter; Todd Carter knew Richard McGee as well as Matthew Terrell whereas in the movie every character denied knowing each other except Albright and Joppy. Another noticeable difference is that in the book Frank Green, Daphne’s brother ends up murdered and in the movie he lives and they both end up moving. The third noticeable difference is a character name change from the book to the movie; Matthew Teran in the book is Matthew Terrell in the movie and he ends up being murdered in the book whereas at the end of the movie he’s running for mayor. A fourth noticeable difference is the pier scene. In the book Albright and Easy meet at the Santa Monica pier and in the movie it is the Malibu pier. And the last most noticeable difference between the book and the movie is that Mouse knows Daphne Monet or shall we call her by her real name Ruby Hanks; however, in the movie the audience never finds that out. In the movie the only true thing you get to know about Daphne is that she is both black and white. Therefore, due to the many differences between the book and the movie it is confusing to the audience since it is almost like dealing with two different stories because of the plot inconsistencies.

The book and movie are completely different. It 's like comparing apples and oranges. (I 'm assuming that you used the newest version with Guy Pierce).

Some things are different in the book and movie. Like Sunset Towers and Money in both versions. Sunset towers is luxurious in the book but a bad place to live downtown. The money the will was worth 200 million but in the movie it is worth 20 million. Another difference is that the Wexlers moved to Sunset Towers because they had no money, but in the book they moved because they had money. In the movie Jake Wexler is paying off his debt though they have money in the book. Jake Wexler is a
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.
