hey there film fans,
I havent seen this film as of yet seeing as we are real slow here in england, either that or i missed it in the cinema. one day i was walkin home from University when i went into this book shop which specialises in books for less then £3 and came across the animal factory. I knew about Edward Bunker and read some of Dog Eat Dog but this book really took me. i'm about half way thru it now and i'm so happy that people are saying good things about the film version. i just want some1 whos both seen the movie and read the book to tell me what they think the adaption is like. If u havent read the book and u have either seen or heard about this film go to ur local bookstore and buy it. Its pretty short and a really good read its one of those ones u just cant put down.

i enjoy reading the book more than i enjoy watching the movie. in the movie characters get less dialogue and sometimes they change things up, the little things. but it's the little things that matter. not saying that the movie isn't a good adaptation of the book, i'm just saying i prefer the book. but then again, i think that's the case with every book-to-movie.
