Probably the first book I have ever read where the movie is better than the book. I don't know if it would be the same if I had read the book first. I have read other books after seeing the movie first and the book is always better, except in this case. The only two distinct parts I find a little more descriptive and interesting in the book is the very last pages, (super creepy) and finally knowing the whole backstory on Angier which is completely non existent in the movie.
