= = The Devil’s Arithmewas an amazing novel and movie but personally I enjoyed the novel better. I enjoyed it better because reading it I was allowed to imagine anything and everything. I could imagine what the people looked like, how the scenery looked, and how the people looked. I also thought that the book seemed more realistic. My favorite part of the novel was the ending when Hannah was transported back to present time. It was an unexpected tic twist in the book so it was very exciting. My least favorite part was when Hannah, Esther, Rivka, and Shifre were at the water pump and then Rivka, Esther, and Shifre were chosen to go to Lillith’s Cave. I thought that Hannah would end up alone and the thought was troubling. Though I enjoyed the novel very much I didn’t enjoy that part.
