My opinion may be skewed because I saw the movie adaptation before reading the book, but I liked the way the movie handled most of the content better. The story and the characters are fantastic and have great depth, but the movie gave them more opportunities for growth and the ending of the movie tied things up much better than the book. Also, I couldn't get past Kwan's word choices in a few instances, including having a character use the c-word multiple times and the n-word. I know it was an easy way to establish that character's personality, but still...could have been omitted and wouldn't have changed the story. I stuck with the story until the end and I'd love to see the movie again but I don't think I'll be re-reading this one.
