This Spoils the Ending
In the Book In the Movie
   Chris takes a second trip to South Dakota, actually working for Wayne twice. Merged into one trip.
   Chris works at Burger King Chris works at McDonalds
   Chris shows no interests in women Chris has a girlfriend
   Chris uses a canoe Chris uses a kayak
   The book does not give a cause of death but guesses. The movie makes it seem as though it was the poison berries, as well as calm and beautiful.
