I saw the film first and loves it, which is why I bought the book. To start, this book was excellently written, the time and dedication put into the research to make this as scientifically accurate as possible is just amazing. That being said, a good bit of the science of it, while fascinating, was boring. If it weren't for the bits of humor thrown in as well as Wil Wheaton's excellent narration, I would have snoozed on this. Not a bad book, just not for me.
