The book has it's own personality and so does the movie. I love both versions so much and honestly the 2 combined make me feel so great. I definitely recommend reading the book and watching the movie. The book was a bit darker then the movie.... (book is like rated r.) But you know what I feel like the movie was like a sequel in a sense with the same premise. Steven Spielberg changed the movie adaption to be a kid friendly movie. Which i'm fine with....
Anyways time to get the hell out of dodge!!
