I know that I said that most of the book and the movie was the same but not identical, here is the not identical details I will talk about. For instance, the plot. Very little of the events changed but if it did, it was quite slim. For another instance, instead of starting at home, like in the book, in the movie she started in the tattoo shop. Another example would be how she teleports in a field in the book and the movie has her teleport right into the house. There are more differences than just the plot of the story, in the book when Hannah is teleported back in time she is called Chya, but in the movie she is still called Hannah.

I think that background information is important and that cutting it out can make you feel less connected to the characters. The order of events was pretty much the same but some events changed. By this I mean things like the basketball scenes because in the book Max couldn’t play sports but in the movie Max and Freak are perceived as the best players on the team. I like the book better overall because it is more realistic and has a ton more detail.
