I wasn't sure how I would feel about reading this book since I saw (and loved) the movie, but there was so many tiny, beautiful moments I recognized from the film and it was an interesting experiment in learning how Clint Eastwood turned it into a film. It's an interesting question, though. Can you enjoy a book if you've seen the movie? I have heard SO many people say Game of Thrones was not enjoyable after they saw the show, a thought that is just so sad. But this book delivers, anyway. It's such a great story and it was hard to put down, even when I knew what was going to happen. His other books will be a treat when I want another fast, fun read.
