Just make sure you see the movie before reading the book in this case.

Rating: 6/10 (27 June 2013)

I had high expectations since I enjoyed the book so much. However, after having read the book, I was hyper-aware of all changes and exclusions made in the movie. Normally this doesn't bug me that much, but I felt that the changes didn't add to the movie at all. I left the theater feeling frustrated and disappointed with a movie that for all intents and purposes was actually quite good.
On a side note, I thought the movie was excellently cast. Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara were perfect. I love seeing up and comers (Rooney Mara) knock a role out of the ballpark. She was wonderful. I look forward to seeing more of her.
