The book has some boring parts, but it is very touching. I recommend reading the book before watching the movie because it has a lot more on it. The movie could have addressed more things, it didn't even start as the book. Also, in the book Finch is very tall, very white, blue eyes, and black hair. In the movie, he is the complete opposite- although the actor played Finch REALLY good. I don't wanna put any spoilers here, so read the book first :)
