I love both the book and the movie but have to say that the movie was really well cast.
Marcus: "I think I killed a duck!!!"
I liked the book better simply because the relationship between Marcus and Ellie is explored more and I really liked their friendship. It was the only thing I felt was particularly lacking in the movie.
The thing I really love about this book is the reality check that kids aren't stupid. They know what's going on even when you don't want them to know.
They sat there a while longer. Marcus didn't feel like breaking the silence; if saying "Hello Ellie" caused that much trouble, then he wasn't about to ask her if she'd had a nice weekend.
