Differences between the film and book

There needs to be clear separation of the film and book, eventually there should be a separate page for each. Until then there should be a title of the differences between the two. I have only read the book so I can't do this myself but I've heard some of the differences include the ending and the relationship between Allie and his sons Charlie and Jerry. I believe the book also is more detailed in the cultural beliefs of the natives and the mental suffering endured by Charlie. Jack 19:13, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Differences between the film and book

Why is race selectively identified, "...a local black man." No one else's race is ID'd. I would have deleted this, except possibly there's some element in the story that explains the specificity?

It leapt out at me too, so I changed it. I can't imagine anyone would disagree. The Spinger 14:16, 24 January 2007

iPhone Wikipedia says this is a "Novel by Paul Theroux"

I have the Wikipedia app on my iPhone. When I launch that app and display Wikipedia's "The Mosquito Coast" article, it says "Novel by Paul Theroux" just below the title of the article. That's wrong, of course; this article is about the film, not the novel. But when I take the article into edit mode to correct the problem, I can't find the incorrect code. Where is the incorrect code, and how can this kind of error be corrected? Mksword (talk) 23:28, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
