Movie vs. Book- Bridge to Terabithia


This is a fantastic book that focuses on jealousy, love and death. The characters, Jess and Leslie become best of friends after they race against one another during a race at school. Both the book and the movie share similarities and differences.

What the two have in common are they both share the same characters, plot and characters.
Differences include in the book, they two built Terabithia “castle stronghold.” In the book, they don’t build Terabithia, they find an abandoned treehouse. In the book, the two argue and with Janice but can’t ever defeat her while in the movie they do battle with her.

I enjoyed the book much more than the movie. I wasn’t a fan of the movie because I felt the directors left too much out and portrayed Terabithia as a “fantasy” world. I wish they would have put more details into the movie from the book.

The book is amazing and very heart wrenching….it was one that when the end came, tears were covering the pages.
