But I think the movie version was better because it showed more things in it than the short story did. For example in the short story they did not mention the sun lamps but in the movie they started out with the children in the sun lamps. But I think the biggest differences between the story and movie was in the plot events and the resolution. There were a ton of similarities and difference in these parts.

The mother and daughter’s stories are staged after one another. The movie allows for a more natural way of telling the story, and makes it easier to remember the characters and associate mothers with daughters.

    The most prominent similarity was the fact that Liesel still adored to steal and read books. Without this trait, this would be an entirely different book. The two most salient differences between the book and movie were the fact that Max Vandenburg didn’t give Liesel and books and that Death didn’t give any, or almost any, comments and narrations. Without these, there are noticeable differences between the film adaptation and book. All in all, I prefered the book better.
