Well I'm almost done with the book. I saw this and rented it. I, like others, liked it better than the book. I would have liked better if it was a feature film and maybe about fifteen minutes longer to flesh out some of the backstories more. But very impressively done for a made for tv movie. I had trouble reading parts of the book as Grey spends two whole pages at a time just describing scenery. Also, the ways he makes some of the characters talk is awkward and seems unrealistic to me. Like he came up with a fantastic story but could have used some help on the dialogue.
Anyway, the movie helped put me in the setting and make sense of the descriptive narrative from the book. It follows the major plot points and doesn't leave out any important chunks. Great movie!
