Sabina is in the film, not the book. In the book series she is introduced in the third book Skeleton Key. Sabina also doesn't go to school with Alex.
The character Mr. Crawley had to have a name change to Mr. Crawford, after the real MI6 didn't want the name used. Additionally, Herod Sayle's name is changed to Darrius, and his nationality changed from Lebanese to American. And Alex's fake name is changed from Felix Lester to Kevin Blake.
In the scene that takes place at the garbage dump (in the movie, at the beginning), Alex takes out multiple guards with a rope. In the book there is only one guard and Alex kicks him, knocking him out, then leaves. Also, in the movie, Alex escapes the car by ejecting the seat, whereas in the book he escapes through the smashed rear windscreen.
The scene when Jack gets attacked by Nadia Vole isn't in the book
In the film, Alex has a Nintendo DS as a handheld gadget, but in the book, it is a Game Boy Color
In the book, Alex uses the smoke bomb in the Nintendo DS to escape the plane controlled by Mr.Grin down to the science museum. In the movie, he uses it to escape the Dozmary Mine.
Gadgets including the mind control pen and the parachute backpack were not mentioned in the book
In the book, Mr Grin dies because the plane he was controlling crashed into a building site. In the movie, he doesn't die at all, however, rumors say that he was either arrested or killed by Yassen G. offscreen.
In the book, Sayle doesn't find out that Kevin Blake (or in the book, Felix Lester) was really Alex Rider until Alex is captured. In the movie, Nadia tells Sayle that Kevin is a spy, whose instructions to Nadia was to kill Alex in his room, which caused Alex to head to the Dozmary Mine.
In the book when Alex parachutes through the Glass Roof of the StormBreaker Launch, he already has a weapon, which he uses to shoot the Prime Minister in the Hand. In the film, he is handed it by the Soldiers he trained with Earlier to shoot the Button apart.
In the book Alex earns respect from Wolf by pushing him off the plane, but in the film he earns it by freeing them from a guarded locked house

An early sign of OCD?

Hello. I am a 24 year old female. In 2008, we lost our four beloved pets and everything we own in a house fire.
Since then, I haven't been able to leave the house for more than a few hours. If we do have to leave the city, I have to bring all of our pets with us. It's only gotten worse and worse over the last two years.
I am starting to worry about home security and break-in's. I have two electronic alarm systems from two different companies in case one does not work. I have three deadbolts, two bar locks, two chain locks and the doorknob lock on the door. I have installed break-proof window glass on all the windows and I have put locks on them.
Now all I want to do is get a gun and learn how to use it. I am so afraid that someone is going to break in.
Has anyone else experienced something and found themselves changing their lives because of it.
I don't want to worry like this.
Also, every night before bed I have to triple check the locks on the door and every window. I have to check the stove. I have turned off my hot water and heat because i am afraid that the pilot light will blow my house up or set one of my animals on fire.
I just wated a show about OCD and I want to know if anyone out there who has OCD or has known someone with it thinks I may be experiencing some kind of it.
The cause of the fire was unknown. It could have been electrical, it may have been the open bag of peat moss roasting in the sun, it may have been the bbq, or something else.
Answer
I can say without reservation you are overdoing the things necessary for home safety. I cannot give you a diagnosis nor am I qualified to do so. I think you have some type of problem but not one you cannot get out of with some reasoning. The water heater and furnace pilot lights are usually guarded to prevent any animals or stray materials from getting near them. Animals can sense heat as well as humans can and will not go near an open flame.
You had a fire and not a break in so the measures you are taking are far beyond what is prudent. You have made your home a trap you may not be able to get out of quickly in a panic situation. Too many dead bolts and too much break proof glass. I think you have developed a lot of anxiety of what happened and have just gone overboard. With all the gadgets to lock and the alarms to set it is a wonder you get to bed at all. I am not sure it is OCD but you are busy going through a big ritual to shut things down at night.
Getting a gun for protection entails a lot of responsibility and if you are in a state of mind where you believe someone will break in, you may just shoot a family member. I would suggest a can of pepper spray which is very effective and will not kill anyone.
Perhaps you can remove the double locks and other nonsense realizing it would interfere with you rounding up your animals and leaving the house quickly. I don't think it is too late for you to overcome this fear and start living life instead of worrying about possible events that are unlikely to happen again. You lost four pets in the past but losing your mind would be a greater loss. Try to make some changes otherwise see a therapist and get a professional opinion. Good Luck!
