The book was better

Watched the film version of The Boy in the Striped Pajama this afternoon and yeap, the book was better! The movie omitted a few things and tweaked the characters. The movie was still moving and basically true to the message, but you get a more powerful awe from the book. However, I did cry at the end of the movie. The book left me too shocked and dumbfounded to shed a tear and now a few days later, I got my chance.
