I thoroughly enjoyed this book. As it was a gift, it was not traditionally the type of book i would find myself reading but it has turned me on to a new genre. I have to admit I am nervous about seeing this movie - morbid curiosity dictates the need to compare. Much like a train wreck...I know I am not going to like what I see, but I have to look anyway.

Almost every example of book turned movie has been a major disappointment, with the largest departure being the Jason Bourne series by Robert Ludlum. However, the Lord of the Rings series as well as the Hannibal series have proven that some movie productions will remain true to their literary counterpart. It is these examples that leave me with a small glimmer of hope that this movie will not disappoint. But I've been wrong before...
