I'm not one of these people that say the book's better than the film for the sake of it...

...but the book really is better than the film. A truly horrible piece of work that the film just can't manage to replicate. The only book that has made me physically sick while reading it but I thought it was good.

The film, I thought, was just a bit boring.
