As mentioned in my previous post ("Teacher and pupil"), and in many previous thoughts, I like to compare scenes in the movie with the corresponding passage in the book (obsessed, maybe, but don't worry I'm still taking my medication).

One that comes to mind right now, after taking Alexander S's prompt of how to get a good response to a thread, is how Michael and Kay are reunited.

For those who are well versed in both, which do you prefer?...Michael surprising Kay at the school, or Kay coming to the house at Mama's request/demand and the long dialogue that follows at Michael's apartment.

I suppose that by filming it as it was written wouldn't have added a lot to the movie, other than in terms of time, but this is one of the most blantant examples of change from page to screen.
