I enjoyed this book. From what I remember, I believe the made the movie pretty close to the book.

I don't think the characters were very prepared and did not proceed with a lot of common sense, so it could be said that they sort of deserved the trouble they encountered.

The biggest thing I took from this is how easy you can go from having a fairly normal life to having one with skeletons in your closet that will haunt you every day.

Jessica I have always been terrified of the movie. I've seen it once and have no intentions of watching it again. If the book is that close, I will consider it read. lol
