Okay let me start out with this. It was the best book I ever read and I’m not one to read. When one of the characters died i freaked out to was an okay movie a lot of details were left out. It took place nowhere near where it took place in the book. Bando character changes. No Mr. Jacket, Matt Spell, or Aaron. It had no Halloween party it was a huge thing in the book. He was their for longer not a year. He had not that many siblings. We never met his parents. Mrs. Turner and Bando never met it was Bando and Sams dad. We never met people in town. So if you want to watch the movie in my opinion, read the book.
