Movie: good. Book: Unbelievable.

Rating: 8/10 (18 May 2010)

This was a good movie, very watchable and interesting. But the book was unbelievable and a lot is left out (probably out of necessity because there are just so many nuances/plot layers in the book).
The acting was very good - the lead actress was really perfect for the role.
While there were some brutal scenes, it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be as I can be on the squeamish side.
I highly recommend this movie, and the book is among the best I've ever read. I wish I could take a week off to read the next two books! Go read it now. THEN see it.
