**What the movie left out:** Dr. Spivak was replaced by a different character. No dictionary but it is replaced with Kevin being Max's tutor and the line about Words, sentences and painting a picture with your imagination. Gwen says that Kevin is a dictionary. We missed the boiler room location - it was scarier. Stronger language in the book as well as stronger images. The relationship between Max and Kevin develops differently in the move than in the novel. (5$)

**What the movie improved:** We like that action of Kevin searching for Max (sled scene). More dramatic - maybe when Kane comes for Max, Max running to the laundry service, breaking the door leaving iggy and loretta, the fight with Tony and the gang retrieving the purse and the purse had money emphasizing their honesty. When they are in trouble or accomplish something there are images of knights and horses.
