It's not my favorite book in the world but I did enjoy it and found it enjoy able to read I saw the movie after I had read the book and I liked the movie also.

There is less attention to detail . Sideplots and character development, I m not quite sure why that it I think it's mostly for the sake of time and to make the movie more relatable to a modern audience.
