  • Max And Cheese Movie Vs Book

    163 Words  | 1 Pages

    In the book they started with Max in daycare at a very young age and it talks about why he is called a kicker and how he first met Freak but in the movie Max firsts meets Freak when he moves in next door. I think that background information is important and that cutting it out can make you feel less connected to the characters. The order of events was pretty much the same but some events changed. By this I mean things like the basketball scenes because in the book Max couldn’t play sports but in the movie Max and Freak are perceived as the best players on the team. I like the book better overall because it is more realistic and has a ton more detail.
