This is a great story. Very full of action and certainly not for everyone as it is very graphic. I have never seen the movie. The characters are very well written and the interaction between them quite interesting. VERY DESCRIPTIVE at times which makes it a little tough to get through but would definately reccomend for a thrill ride.
