I haven't seen the movie yet because I prefer to read the book first. I like to know the COMPLETE story before I watch the condensed version on screen. I usually prefer the book version better and I did enjoy this book. It started off a little slow but it is imperative that the reader learn the turn...
This is not the sort of story I usually gravitate to. In fact, I had been actively avoiding reading this book for some time.

I thought the book was already among my reads, but after seeing the movie yesterday I checked my shelves and didn't fi...
