I enjoyed the book. It was quite different than the movie. I am having a bit of difficulty separating the two works, one seems to lapse into the other in my mind I suppose I'm comparing similarities and differences. I think I will eventually separate them as stand alone works but it will take some more mulling over.

I watched the movie years ago and got the CD of the movie because for me the movie is one of those that I can watch time and time again. When I saw the book in a local thrift shop I bought it and was very surprised that it is different right from the beginning. At first I put it up on my bookshelf after only 12 pages and didn't know if I cared to read it but recently I picked it up again and glad I did; I'm enjoying!

I saw this book on the cart at local Friends of the Library and decided to buy it because I have the movie on dvd and love it. I started reading the book and was surprised to start out with scenes I didn't remember being in the movie. I am enjoying the read and will watch the movie countless times again. I'm so glad I found this jewel of a book to add to my home library.
