I came across this book sometime last year at a library book sale. I didn't know this was a book. I watched the movie a long time ago and I've watched it several times since then. When I saw this at my local library I decided to get it because I actually really liked the movie and I assumed I would enjoy the book just as much if not more. Unfortunately that wasn't the case for this book.

As I mentioned above I watched the movie long before I ever read the book so its possible that if I had done it the other way around I would have actually really enjoyed the book. I was expecting this to be pretty similar to the movie but it was completely different.

I can't really get into all the details of everything that's different without spoiling the whole book so this is going to be a hard one to review. Most of the characters were so annoying. Even though I watched the movie and knew how it was going to end because of all the changes I didn't know the who did it aspect but it was all very predictable. It's classified as a suspense thriller and to me the suspense was severely lacking.

I know this review makes absolutely no sense but I just don't know what to say about it. I think the only reason I even continued reading this book was because I had seen the movie and loved it.
