The film is terrible, the book is rather good.
It doesn't work as a film because the plot of the novel isn't particularly good; to narrate to someone what happens would just be boring. The writing style is (in my opinion, I seem to recall Dace having quite strong opinions on this book) such that it makes the story interesting, and almost exciting.
I've read it 6 times, if that's any kind of testament.
