The movie can never really do the book justice, but it wasn't too bad. It kinda felt like I was seeing the short-hand version of the story (what were those cheat books called?). There just isn't enough time in a movie...but maybe, someone else could have still better conveyed the pathos that the book elicited. The stress that his brother caused him was completely glossed over. And it was that stress that made him who he was.

I'm just glad I read the book.
