MockingJay Part 1 Vs. MockingJay (Book) 

In my last blog I wrote about the book MockingJay and if you read it, the review wasn't good. But I felt that the movie was good. So I decided to make a little list of what was different between the movie and the book.

1) In the movie, you see Katniss start out in District 13, and eventually she visits her 'home' District 12.  But in the book, all of this wasn't included, the book simply started off in District 12 with Katniss shocked about the leftovers. I personally liked the movie version of this better because this was a build up to her decision in becoming the MockinJay. 

2) In the book I think Katniss interact a little less than they do in the movie. And they also don't trust each other as much in the book as they do in the movie. Additionally, in the movie, Katniss's demands were a little different than in the book. 

3) In the book, the rescue mission feels a bit choppy and you dont get to 'see' or feel what happens completely. But in the movie they did a good job on showing the mission. I liked how the movie included this scene because it adds a lot of suspense and is one of the major conflicts. 

These were just some of the things I noticed when reading the book and watching the movie. I just listed a couple differences obviously because the second part of the movie hasn't hit the theaters yet.

P. S.  Is it just me or do you like the song Jennifer Lawrence sung in the movie called 'The Hanging Tree"?
