Title: This is the rare situation where the movie is better than the book
Review: The fact that the premise of this book is so interesting made me all the more disappointed that the execution of it was so poorly done. The characters are shallow, cliched, and very poorly developed. To make matters worse, the main character experiences a significant change in his fundamental personality that is completely unbelievable. And the final scene of the book is so cloying that it makes me shudder to remember it. If the premise hadn't been so intriguing, I would have only given this book one star.This is the only time I've ever been able to say that the movie far far surpassed the book. The movie differs significantly from the book, basically abandoning everything except the main plot line. I would highly recommend the movie, but unless you're into any dystopian novel regardless of quality, I wouldn't recommend the book.
