Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Ben - Liberty Jr. School, OH

The book Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry was very good, but I was very upset with the movie. One weak point was when the movie did not show the fight between Lillian Jean and Cassie. Another weak point was when they didnt have Stacey say trust me, that put trustworthiness as a theme in this book.

Some bad points in the movie were in the beginning it started with papas leg being broken. Another bad point was in the movie when they didnt show the poem.

However, they did cover most of the parts that happened in the book, it just wasnt in order. Also the ending was exactly how I visualized it while reading the book.

In my opinion, the movie was not good but the book was great. I would say the book is much better.
