I read the book about a year ago, and decided to try and relive the book by watching the movie. The movie does a decent job following the action of the movie, but ultimately fails at the idea behind the book. Instead the movie is simply a series of action correlating with the book. I cannot stress enough, "ONLY THOSE WHO HAVE READ THE BOOK SHOULD BOTHER WITH THE MOVIE." The movie provides good visual aide for re-experiencing the book, but will only ruin your will to read the book if you try to watch the movie before reading.
