What's the difference between the MOVIE and the BOOK?
What's the best MOVIE VERSION to watch?

THE MOVIE

  • The best film version is recommended based on accuracy and availability.
  • Each MOVIE VERSION study guide includes a scene-by-scene comparison with corresponding chapters in the book.
  • Errors and omissions in the movie are cited for each chapter.
  • You can immediately find out if the movie follows the book, which parts of the book are similar to the movie and which are different from the film version.
  • A Comments section points out major differences between the movie and the novel. 

HOW ACCURATE IS THE MOVIE?

  • Recommended movies are rated for accuracy of plot, characters, settings, symbols, structure, and themes.
  • MOVIE VERSION study guides list major differences between the movie and the book, including:
             - WHAT’S IN THE MOVIE THAT’S NOT IN THE BOOK?    
             - WHAT’S IN THE BOOK THAT’S NOT IN THE MOVIE?    
             - WHAT’S THE SAME?                              

THE BOOK

  • Complete summaries of each chapter in the book are presented.
  • Use chapter summaries to compare and contrast the book versus the movie.
  • The MOVIE VERSION format allows you to compare Chapter 1 in the book with Chapter 1 in the movie.
  • You can easily see if the movie goes by the book and identify similarities and differences.
  • Characters in the book are often left out of the movie, their names are changed, or characters appear in the movie who are not in the book.

KEY CHAPTERS

  • Some scenes in the movie are completely different from the book.
  • We recommend reading a few key chapters to find out what really happened.
