A rarity to be sure, but I prefer the movie (2004 musical) to the book. It's not often I say that! The characterizations in the book were disappointing and a bit over the top, drama-wise. The book started out well, as far as writing, but then switched to "reports" instead of a narrative, which for me, took away from the story.
