Why You Should Read The Book Before The Movie

You should always read a book before you go see the movie. The books are always better than the movie. The movie can leave out details from the book. They do this to make the movie not four hours long.

Even if you don't like reading still read the book first. In the "Hunger Games" I read all of the books before I saw the first movie. For example in the book Katniss Everdeen got her infamous mocking jay pin from (essentially) a black market in district 12. She got it for free the day of the reeping. She gave it to her sister for good luck. Then when Katniss volunteered for her sister Prim, prim gave it back to Katniss. In the movie Katniss got from her stylist Cena. Also in the book when Katniss was saying her goodbyes to her loved ones. Peeta's father also stopped to giver her cookies from her bakery. In movie you just saw Kateniss with her loved ones. You never saw Peeta's father.  Another difference is the Avox girl. In the book she knew the Avox girl. She had the chance to save her and didn't. In the movie you just see her as an Avox girl. You don't see the relationship between the two. The last difference I noticed from the book to the movie is that in the book at the end the mutant dogs that came were to look like the other contestants that had died. IN the movie they just  made them scary. These mutant dogs are crucial to the sequel so we will see how they do that.

Another big movie and book was the "Twilight Saga." The first difference in the first book "Twilight is that in the book when Bella is on her way to her house she just has her Parka as a carry on. In the movie she has a cactus to remind her of home. Also in the book Jacob was the one to Bella about his history. This is when Bella found out that Edward was Vampire. In the movie Jacob only told her part of the story and she went to library to get a book about instead. Another big difference in the book  is that everything was down scaled compared to the movie. In the book Bella had an other desktop computer and a CD player. In the movie she has a new mac computer and an iPod. Also the Cullen's house was supposed to be white and old. In the movie it was grey and very very modern.

Even though a lot of these changes are minor some of them have a big importance to story line. That is why it's really important to read the book before you go see the movie. Especially if it is a series of books read the whole series before you see the first movie. Even if you have to wait for it to come out on DVD.
