As well as there are similarities there are differences in the story line of the Devil's Arithmetic. When the brave people tried to escape got caught and were shot, but in the movie they were hung to death. When they got killed in the book, Fayge went with them. In the movie Laye did not. When Rivka and some other girls got sick they were taken away, but in the book they got taken away because they were slacking off. The girls taken away to died were burned, but in the movie they were gassed to death. When Hannah went back to normal time she explained the numbers on aunt Eva's arm in front of everyone at the Seder, but in the movie it was explained in a separate room with the two of them only. Unlike the similarities these were not in both, book and movie.

I personally believe that the book is the better, because the detaisl of the book gives me a picture and I can understand the book more than the movie. My favorite part of the novel was when they traveled in the train cars because the detail of the scene had such a good description that it was like I was right there with them. But saying that the worst part of the novel to me was when she fought with her parents about going to the Seder because it was like she was not fighting at all and just gave up. This book was very good and I would recommend this book to anyone that needs some good reading. This book of the young girl that misunderstood is very good and detailed. That is why relish and would recomed this book.
