Well I actually think in this case it does make sense to compare them, because the movies follow the books so closely, actually being a direct translation of the books onto the screen, or at least an attempt at that. I actually think they manage pretty well, but then, I never really cared much for the books.

That explains a lot.
The movie has left out about half a book and had to twist some of the remaining things to fit them into this short version. I understand that it had to be done due to various reason and I accept that, but saying that the movie followed the book very closely is just plain wrong.

Yeah, probably my lack of memory of the story. I read it a long time ago, and it never really touched me ... I felt the charactarization was very poorly done.
