Hey, the movie, even thought it is the greatest movie is, in my eyes not as good as the book. I can say for sure that i enjoyed the movie better once i had read the book, also seeing the movie before the reading the bbok helped me to visualise certain scenes which enhanced the reading of the book.
What i'm trying to say is that they compliment eachother very well (perhaps this can only apply to one and two, as three contradicts the book in parts)
