I don't think anyone that made the movie actually read the book. It only had a vague likeness to the book. I was looking forward to this movie because you could just visualize what it could be when you read the book. If you've never read anything about it it may be an OK movie but it was so glaringly off it definitely took you out of the story. I wished I waited for it to hit Red box! Not a full price ticket kinda movie.
