I really like the film, so I had high expectations for the book. Certain parts ended up being a complete slog to get through though, and I felt like the book could have been trimmed by a good hundred (or more) pages. I found myself quickly skimming over entire chapters of boring subplots, and many long winded paragraphs describing things like multiple dreams a character had that night, or entire chapters about a sculpture that is being worked on. There are still a lot of things to like though, the characters, story, and writing are all well done, and the story starts out interesting and really picks up in the last quarter or so of the book again. The film focuses on every interesting plot point, and throws out the boring subplots, so I would say I actually prefer the film to the book (heresey, I know).
