This book took me a while to read. Not that it wasn’t good, but I watched the movie first, so there wasn’t a sense of urgency to read the book since I already knew the plot. I definitely prefer to read a book before watching the movie, but I did not discover this author until after watching the movie. I have to say, the movie really followed the book–I could totally picture the movie in my head while reading. Movie or book, you can’t go wrong with this story.
