And if I didn't think the book was outstanding and very unique its style then I would agree hands down the movie is much better. Because it is brilliant, no doubt. It's just when I finally read the book I was captivated by the way he wrote. But only for that reason it is line ball for me. Not too many others I can say that about.
So long as they don't butcher the film then okay i accept it will never be the book.
