I read it, but a 100 years ago. I remember I loved it and there was stuff not in the movie. It is worth the read in my opinion.

Loved both the book and movie. I thought the book covered a few more events than in the movie. Other than that the movie was pretty spot on

It was really good and that’s coming from someone who doesn’t really like Stephan King’s writing. I think the movie followed pretty accurately

I thought the movie was better; one of only a handful that I think that about. And the reason is probably because I think King has good ideas but is not a good writer – and directors can make a good movie out of his ideas. 🙂
