The lovely bones – Book Vs. Movie
This movie is very much like the book in many ways, it includes most important plot details, yet some are in different sequence.
When Susie is murdered in the book they later talk about how when her soul was leaving earth she brushed past Ruth, but in the movie they show her running past Ruth and this scene could easily be misinterpreted for Susie escaping from Mr. Harvey, which she did not.
In the book most significant parts of the plot were more spaced out where as in the movie they were all following each other very closely.
this movie was a little disappointing, yet the book was not all that great either.
The way that the director displayed Mr. Harvey was exactly the way his character was described in the book, but his version of Lindsey Salmons character was not as detailed as well as it was in the book, he did not display her feelings about her sisters death with as much detail. Peter Jackson, the director, also left out some parts in the book to shorten the story, these parts were rather valid to the plot.
In conclusion, I would not recommend this movie or book to anyone, it was not my style. But don’t take my word for it, find out for yourself.
