I'm surprised to be able to say that the movie and book Water for Elephants are very similar. There are a few differences, but for the most part the movie makers stayed pretty faithful to the book. The most notable difference is the absence of the character of Uncle Al in the movie. (It is my understanding that they combined Uncle Al and August into one character for the movie). The book also interspersed present day happenings with flashbacks, while the movie stayed in the flashback once it had started. I was impressed with how faithful the movie makers were to the book. There is one small (and I feel important) plot point in the book that is not mentioned in the movie, but I will not reveal that here because I'm not a fan of posting spoilers! I loved the book. I thought it was fantastic! I also loved the movie. I can't wait to add it to my home movie collection.
I also feel the need to tell you that "The Stack" has multiplied into several stacks. There are 70 books in total, ten in each stack. I really need to stop getting books and read what I have!
