this is definitely better than the movie. 

I read this to Caleb today, and he hasn’t seen the movie yet, so i’m interested to get his opinion on such now that he’s read the book. i’ve never actually met anyone who’s read the book before having seen Shrek (2001). 

the film is such a different take on this material than the book. Yet, they still managed to use most of the source material in the DreamWorks film. i was surprised how similar these ended up being in the end, especially for how much is different.
