Book vs Movie...

Rating: 8/10 (2 November 2015)

Saw this in theatres opening weekend. Left impressed but not quite sold on the direction the directors went.
I first saw this book on Google Play as a new read. The idea sold me 100% and I downloaded instantly. I was on deployment at the time for 7 months so I did a lot of reading on my down time. Let me just say this. I could not put the book down and I couldn't read it fast enough. It was that good!!! I was even more excited when I saw that the movie got a green light.
OK, the movie. Obviously, it would be impossible to cram every bit of detail from the book into the movie. But the film adaption was great. I did feel like as an audience member that we (the viewers) were just along for the ride. We were being shuttled from one event to the next. There was key things missing from the movie that explained a lot of the decisions the main character was making.
Overall, great movie, better book. You should watch this and then read it after. Otherwise, like me, you will notice all the gaps that didn't make it to screen.
