Haven't seen the movie yet but I loved the book. I'm almost afraid to go see the movie. Seems like the book is almost always better and the movie a little disappointing.

I loved the book. Looking forward to seeing the movie as soon as it comes out on DVD. I always read the book first.

I am so mad I could spit! I won't see the movie until I've read the book. I've been putting off buying it for all kinds of reasons, and last week I decided that this week I'd buy it. Now even as recently as last week, they were selling the normal paperback-sized books. This week - none! If you want to buy it, you have to get the "trade paperback" for several dollars more. Barnes & Noble had plenty of them, and I know they didn't suddenly sell out. Same for Targe, Wal-mart and the grocery.

I won't read it now (or see it) until I can buy a normal paperback at the discount I could have gotten up until this week.

Saw the movie and I thought it was great. Full house and people applauded at the end!! Never been to a movie where that's happened. Haven't read the book.

Read the book for our library discussion group, then saw the move...........alone..............enjoyed both immensely! I never let "alone" stop me from doing anything!

Read the book, saw the movie, going to read the book again. Both very good. Read the book first, then do the movie.
