If you've watched the movie and are deciding whether you should read the book: read it. There are things in this book that they could never put into a film, simply because the tension building is just so incredible. There are whole scenes that are completely different, and much more horrific than the movie adaptation. I'm a slow reader, but I finished this pretty quickly, as it is short and amazingly well written.
