I don't remember specifically the differences, but the book was absolutely fabulous! And yes, I saw the movie also.

I don't remember many differences. I think there was a bathroom scene in the book when Thad's wife tries to escape from Stark. And the ending of the movie is a bit more abrupt. In the book, didn't Thad have a different hair color than Stark? I can't remember.

There are always big diffrences in the book to movie adaption, if you liked the movie you will love the book. My only problem with watching the movie before the book is you have preconcived ideas of the charaters and I think most relate the actor from the movie with the character so it limited your own imagination that is so important with books. But that is just my opinion.

I read the book, then saw the movie. The book is much more vivid in description. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, however, the book cinched the story - in the book, Stark was much more imposing and violent. It's all in "the mind's eye" - no pun intended.

This was the first book by stephen king I read and it was very good. About a year ago, I was flipping through channels on TV and it was on,I didn't stop and watch it but I was curious if it was any good, but the book is good all in all so I suggest that anybody pick it up
