Is the book worth reading if you watched the movie? Like is it drastically different enough to give a very different story?

[–] Klear@quokk.au 4 points 1 day ago

Oh yes! A lot of the story beats are the same or similar, but different characters die and different survive so it's still very suspenseful even if you've seen the movie a dozen times. Speaking from experience.

The second book then goes off in a completely different direction that the movie (or rather the other way around), so that one is a great read too.
