The movie did a great job at putting the book into movie form. They had almost all of the major parts, but they did switch them up a bit. It put the Government camp after the part where he got hit in the face, which is contrary to the book. They also got rid of the entire end about cotton picking and the part about the old man in the barn, probably because that would last too long, and was very controversial.
I think that I prefered the movie because I didn't have to read lol. The movie did a great job translating it and I got everything that I got out of the book minus that turtle. It dropped all the intercaleragory chapters except the one about the diner, I think it was good they kept that chapter because it showed hardships, but I would of made the truck drivers more angry. To sum up it was a good movie, and a decent book, very boring though.
