Tina, I agree with you. I thought it was a masterpiece. The ending was profoundly disturbing, but I was glad I read the book. I have no idea if a movie can do it justice. So much of the shock value of the book depends on taking in the written word and then re-evaluating everything in a new light. In other words, it involves thinking rather than just seeing something or listening to dialog as you have to do with a movie. I'll be curious to see the movie anyway.
