Even if you've watched the movie first, this book is still worth a read. Regardless, it's. Greatly tense and intriguing novel that reads easily, maybe even too easily. If this book had an apparent flaw, it'd be the lack of subtleties because of the writing style and word choice. This does in no way detract from the story, however, if you are able to put yourself into the mind of the characters.
