View on movie largely depends on if you read the book....

Rating: 7/10 (19 May 2006)

If you read the book, you'll likely be disappointed in the movie. Not necessarily think it was awful, just another one of those "the book is TEN TIMES better than the movie" type of deal.
If you didn't read the book you don't deserve to see the movie. Do yourself a favor and read the book. Rent the movie after.
I'm not a huge book person.... at all. And lots of times I actually enjoy the movie more than the book... i'm a bit of a movie fanatic. But this is one case where I can honestly say the book is much better than the movie. While I enjoyed the movie, the two types of media give the story an ENTIRELY different feel. The book is more mystery like and non-stop suspense. The clues unravel piece by piece yet you have no idea what to expect and each page is like a riddle. The movie, on the other hand, may have a mystery/suspense overtone, but it's not as adrenaline based and the information and clues revealed along the way are not as exciting to discover.
