I don't get it: the book had such a great story. The characters and relationships were very well written and developed. The actions and sequences were logical and made sense. A lot of research went into the book. Reading it, I almost felt like watching a movie.
They just had to stick to the book.
I understand that movies have to make shortcuts. But for one: this is a series, so they would have had enough time to tell the story as it should have been told.
And secondly, some shortcuts don't make sense at all. They also left crucial characters out of the film. And to make things worse: they created NEW stories instead which are just ridiculous and pathetic. The 2 children who stayed in the train (why?) and of course met a psycho, the people trapped in the amusement park...
IF you change the book and create new stories, then they better be good.
I cannot recommend it.
Hopefully someone will create a better version of this book. Tom Hanks would be an awesome choice for the main character :-)
