content: As with most Stephen King movie adaptions, it would make the movie better if the book is read.This book was very good (Between 4-4.5 stars) in my opinion.There was a lot to the book which, from how the reviewers are complaining, was probably left out due to the time constraints of "run time."I can understand how the movie probably is hard to understand if you didn't read the book.Next time, if the movie is an adaption from a book, read the book before you write a review.Too keep the ratings for the movie fair, I am giving the movie 5 stars even though I didn't see it, just like the other reviewers are giving the movie a low rating without reading the book. My rating is high because the book was good.
