Another new thread! Forgive me if most of this has been covered in the other threads in this particular section, but I want to know. I still haven't managed to read the book, yet I still want to know. Are there many character differences? Between the book and movie. I recall reading there was a mother for Crysta in the book, which is an obvious difference, but Nightworm also said it was fairly close to the movie. =x so I'm just curious. Those of you who have read the book, tell me, what are some of the differences between certain characters in the book and movie?

From what I remember of reading it this book was one of the only books I ever read that later became a movie that almost matched everything word for word. The characters were all still pretty much the same in the movie as they were to the book I think the only differences I remember is the fact that it never mentions or shows Crysta's mother and sisters in the film but they are mentioned and shown in the book. And there was a small scene I believe of Zak talking about his life and his school but I don't think it had any real purpose for being in the film.

Oh really? That's really neat! Sooo many book movies change a lot of things, I'm glad to hear this one doesn't. Yeah, I remember you saying that in the one thread. That's really a shame..I wish they would have included Crysta's mother or sisters, but..lol I guess people can make fan characters out of them in a way. Or, just elaborate on them more in fan fics. =o oh? that's cool. I have to pick up the book to read some of this. You're probably right in that it wasn't really necessary for the film.

Yeah I was very surprised and proud of this movie after seeing how closely it stuck to the book. And I think you're right it doesn't give super huge details about Crysta's mom and sisters but it does give you some info that people could easily add to in fanfictions. And I would've loved for the Zak scene to be a deleted scene in the film but I am satisfied enough with getting a little more detail about him in the books though it's not much lol.

Zak talk about his life and school from the book? Nobody ever brought that one up! Well...not until now because everytime we talk about the book, it always issue something about Crysta's mom and sisters appearing in it.
I think that would be a good idea if those scene pages from the book became a deleted scene for the movie. Or an alternate version or whatever you wanna come them so it can give fans the idea besides just fanfictions.
