I read this book one winter, and recieve the film for christmas, and literally finished the book, in time to watch the movie that night, and it was awesome.

The book does fill in a lot more aspects, such as what was going through the fat kid with the crossbow's mind, lots of alternate takes, more involvement with the kids making the bomb. And also more of the female.

The movie does a great job with coverage of the events, casting, and is just all around bad ass. Even if they didn't have something in the film, they did a good job of at least hinting at it, such as the one chick with the two dead naked boys in the trees. That is a few chapters I believe. I'm going to have to read this again, and watch it again as well.

I want the iron wreath with BR SURVIVAL PROGRAM tattooed on my arm. anyone else game? lol.
