I watched this movies years ago when it first came out. I have re-watched it over and over again because its anti-government messages of which I have embraced more and more as I have matured. Although the book differs in many ways from the movie, the movie did in fact stay very close to the book save the ending and some other, for the most part, minor details.
Rarely do I find the movie to be better than the book, however in this case, the movie I think, is better than the book. The book has a lot or repetition in it. Sometimes I thought I had lost my page and was re-reading something I had previously read.
I recommend this book or the movie. The book is short so not a lot of investment of time and effort. If you like the movie, you owe it to yourself to read the book.
