I always thought, we’ll I saw the movie so really no need to read the book. 

Well let me just say, Hollywood took more than it’s fair share of liberties. Really, the only thing the two versions have in common is the title. 

Regardless of what you think of the movie, I think the book is absolutely worth a shot.

I found the story to be immersive and it was a very fast, read in one sitting type of book I enjoyed it very much.
