I really enjoyed this movie so I read the book...it's basically word for word the same. Generally I dislike that they have to cut so much out of a book to make the movie, but it seems like they just published the script as a book after the movie was a success. If I had read the book without seeing the movie it might have earned more stars, but the movie was actually better than the book this time around (probably the only time I have ever said that).
