Novel vs Movie

You've noticed how much the novel differs from the movie. Things must be done on screen much differently than they are on paper. There is less time, and action and music must take the place of text -- a sometimes difficult task. Which was better? Why?

  1. The book and movie were totally different from each other.I enjoyed the book more, probably because I had read the book first and expected the movie to be just like the book, but it wasn't like it in many ways such as when Rawiri traveled to Australia in the book, and when Kahu bit Koro Apirana's toe in the book. Those things weren't in the movie. I liked the book more because it had more to it.

  2. I liked the book so much more. The movie was completely different from the book, and I didn't like it. Why did they focus so much more on Porourangi in the movie? He was almost nonexistent in the novel, just a placeholder. Why did they decide to call Kahu Paikea in the movie? That's not her name! That did not make me happy. I also didn't like how Rawiri was the placeholder in the movie, and he didn't go to Australia either, and why was he fat?
