We Bought a Zoo by Benjamin Mee
This is my third week reading We Bought a Zoo by Benjamin Mee. I'm trying to not get bored with this book but it's hard when all Benjamin talks about are money, bills, and debts. But I have been noticing how formally his writing is. The book is so much more different than the book because the children react to the family moving to the zoo.
Mee's little girl isn't as cute as in the movie but of course that's how Hollywood made her in the movie. I'm sure she was adorable in real life but Mee didn't convey that in the book so far. But his son is very witty in the book as he was in the movie. Mee isn't saying a lot about his kids personally unlike how they did in the movie. I still so mad that I saw the movie before reading the book because the movie is making me not like the book! I going to finish this book though, and hopefully like it more or just as much as the movie!

Lauren, I have felt that way about characters in certain books too. Books like Twilight and The Hunger Games, I interpreted the characters differently compared to Hollywood does.
