What is different about the "Along Came a Spider" book versus the movie?

Answer by  patti (29325)

The book has fabulous internal dialogue, which is not possible to interpret to the screen. While the movie is suspenseful, it cannot compare to the book, which is superb.

I almost always prefer book versions to movie versions, but "Along Came a Spider" is a case where both are pretty good. The plots are quite similar, and I think Morgan Freeman does such a good job as detective Alex Cross that I would actually recommend the movie.
