In my opinion, I believe that the novel is better than the movie because in the novel I can picture how the concentration camp looked like, and how the charactors looked like. In the novel my favorite part is when Hannah relizes that her aunt Eva used to be Rivka. I liked this part because it was a major jaw dropper. My least favorite part is when Smuel dies just because it's a really sad part. I would recomend this book to anyone who enjoys historical fiction, and even if you don't it's still a very powerful movie and book to read or watch. In conclusion, the novel and the movie have many simalarities, yet it also has many differences.
