I have been a fan of the movies since they came out and have them memorized. That said, the book read a lot different than the movies, for which I am glad. I knew the book would be different but didn't see a need to read it. Am I glad I did. The typos are throughout, just a little FYI. But all in all, a great book to sit and relax with. I was asked which I liked better, the movie or the book. The movie seemed a bit campy and the book edgier. I have no preference, but am glad I took the time to finally read this one.
