The 1990's Movie vs. The Book

The movie has many differences and similarities to the book. First of the boys are gathered on the beach already when the movie starts rather than being called by Ralph with the conch. Another strange difference is that the boys in the movie are American not British. The other difference I noticed was the that the beast instead of being a parachute was the insane pilot. Other than these the book and film are very similar. Overall the movie portrayed the book very well. One of the best movie's I have seen that was based on a book.
