This new segment, by request of a fan, is about comparing books, and their movies.
My first book is Holes, by Lois Sachar.
The book and the movie are very similar, so I can't say I liked the movie better. The differences, besides dialogue, are either minuscule, or I haven't found them. If you've never read Holes, here is a short synopsis.
Holes
Stanley Yelnats is cursed. Or, according to his family, their poor family's bad luck is because of an old curse. His father, an inventor, tries many ideas and often fails. His next big idea is to find a way to recycle shoes. One day Stanley is hit on the head by a pair of sneakers, and run to give them to his dad. But it turns out the shoes were the old shoes of the basketball sensation Clyde Livingston. Stanley is sentenced to a year at Camp Green Lake, a juvenile delinquent camp. At the camp, he makes friends with Zero, an orphan. But Camp Green Lake is not normal. The camp leader makes the kids dig holes all day for who knows what, and barely ever finds anything. Through the mysterious Camp Green Lake, Zero, and a whole lot of onions, Stanley Yelnats finds more then just redemption.
