Compare and Contrast the book and the film versions of "The Road." Which did you like better?Why?

I personally liked the book better. I believe the book is better than the movie because the book in my opionion makes more sense. There is an order to the book that in the movie there isn't. You can understand what is happening to the father and the son more in the book than in the movie. In the movie there is a lot of events occuring at the different times. The different house scences appear too quick in the movie, whereas in the book they appear later in the story. I also did not like the amount of flashbacks that they gave in the movie. The first half of the movie is made of mostly flashbacks of his wife and at the end of the flashbacks, the movie does not even show what happens to her, she just walks away from the family. In the book the wife comes up in about only two chapters of the book and they tells us that she kills herself. I know it was movie and that it can't come out exactly like the book but I would of liked a little more order or sequence of events.
