Did you read the book before watching the movie?


Did you read the book before watching the movie?

reply

No.

I watched the movie many times over the years.
Two years ago I read the book.

My opinion of the book/movie comparison.

This movie comes the closest to the book as any that I've read.

The movie does end before the book but nothing of real substance is lost.

Great book/movie.

The sheriff in the movie is the author of the book. :)

I just watched the movie for the first time last night (super late, I know), but I hope I find the book soon. That's cool that the author had a spot in the movie. I love when that happens!

Have you read/watched Mystic River? I don't think I've finished the book, but that one was almost word-for-word the same. I was impressed.
