I take what I have written while having partially read the book. 
 The book is absolutely better than the movie! 
 There were parts of this book where it was a little boring, during the building of the characters. But after a couple of chapters things started to get interesting when I couldn't even put it down. 
 **a little into the book** 
 This is good for children. Though I could say that the movie was a lot more interesting than this one.
