I liked the book better than the movie. I listened to the audio version of the book. The actors were fabulous on the audio.

So I've been drinking insane amounts of water while reading this book...
I got this book as a birthday presant last year, and otherwise I probably wouldn't have picked it up on my own. It was my husband that chose this as my next read.
During the first 100 pages I was both intrigued and bored, but the writing was really lyrical, and the chapters short, making the book an easy read.
