A Simple Plan The Book is Better The book, A Simple Plan, by Scott Smith, was much more effective than the movie version because the book was more descriptive and it allowed us to view everything from the main character’s point of view. However, the story or plot of the movie was better than the book. The book version of A Simple Plan was better because it was more descriptive than the movie version. The author was able to give more details in the book than you would notice in a movie, for example, “It was farmland, unrelentingly flat but made over to look like it wasn’t.
