There's two big differences - the story and the book. I'll start with the book. It's not the best-written. Many characters have little personality and you don't get a feel of coming to understand them and cheer them on. The lady is added as a pretty weak attempt at putting some sexual angle to the story. It has its share of grammatical errors as well.

The story on the other hand is pretty damn good. The concept that the best of those defending us got sick at what we've become and decide to stop talking and do something about it is both scary and awesome at the same time. It's a definite one-time read, that's for sure.

Standard thriller, although a little bit of right-wing wish fulfillment. The buildup was good, but suddenly the book was over. The climax was small, the conclusion an afterthought. Would have liked a better pay off.

It was an ok book. Could have done without the romance in the story, and I wasn’t fond of the ending. Overall not a bad story

Meh.

Instead of tossing this, I had to read it to see just how bad it could get. This is a treatise on how NOT to write a novel. Contains a glaring example of nearly every mistake an author can make.

One word, "campy".

This is a keeper book for my personal library to read again and compare how close to realities this book actually hits.

I was really hoping to like this book but the writing was terrible. I don't know if its a bad translater or what but I found this book really confusing. I only made it about 15% in before giving up.
