W.O. movie vs book

For the most part the movie and book are very similar. The movie did it's best to include every detail it could for the time limit. The order of the foster homes, who the foster parents were are very on point. 

The only really differences are these:
 > Ingrid is an artist in the movie, a poet in the book

 >Her Second foster home is skipped

> Ingrid is sent to jail for life, in the book she's freed

For a movie it's as on point as it's get. The casting was perfection and the story was true to the book. This will make fans of the book very happy.

    This post left me guessing. What's "W.O." Give us some summary/background details to really engage is and make us either want to read the book, see the movie, or go screaming for the hills. Think sensory details: sights, sounds, etc.

    Ok, you mean White Oleander? I see that in your previous post. But remember--readers might not read all of them, so each post has to be "stand alone" and work, details-wise, on its own merits.
