Title: Not Better or Worse - Just Different
Review: I bought this book because I too loved the movie, and wanted to read the inspiration. I can see why the producers chose this book to adapt; it is an enthralling story about a young hero who has managed to value integrity, hope, and friendship through a horrible life.Apart from the geographic setting, the age of the hero, and the tv show, the book's characters and events have little in common with the movie. I leave it up to the future reader to discover the differences. However I will not say the movie is better than the book, or vice versa. They were both outstanding; they complement and enhance one another. I can now more fully appreciate the choices that the screenwriter made in bringing the text to the screen, to accommodate the 3-act mythological structure.I especially recommend the audiobook version narrated by Christopher Simpson.
