Moving on from the summary, what would be better to watch/read first? I think the book and the movie are very similar, but I watched the movie before reading the book. Then I read the book, and they’re both caught my attention from the whole setting, scene, etc.
I would recommend both the book and the movie, but I personally like the movie better since I’m not that much of a reading fan. The movie obviously gives you more action, but the book gives a good description of what’s happening throughout the story. If you like a lot of drama, both the movie and the book are a good choice as well. It’s very inspiring for both the readers and the people watching it also, and there’s a lot of tension.
