The Road movie and book had many differences. I was surprised by the way the environment was presented. From the descriptions in the book I expected a bit darker and more depressing landscape. However most of the movie stayed true to the book. All of the important scenes were represented, like the bunker scene and the scene with the thief. Overall I thought the book was represented quite well and the movie did a good job of presenting Cormac McCarthy's story in a way that will open it up to new audiences.
