I definitely recommend reading the book! While I enjoyed both, I'm glad I read the book first, because there is just so MUCH plot and so many characters that are much easier to keep straight in the book than in the movie. I watched the movie with my husband (he hadn't read the book) and kept pausing it to remind him "we saw this character half an hour ago, and they did this and this" ... the book is full of these cool little reveals as you start to see how all the plot pieces fall together that are a little more confusing in the movie because they did have to trim things and streamline the cast to make it all fit in two hours.
