the book was NOTHING like the movie... the book was a very DARKER and GRUESOME look into his mind... way more crass and descriptive... i didnt like the book at all, and the ending left you wanting even MORE then the movie...
The darker aspect is what I liked more about the book and delving into his trip into insanity, I don't know Will smith is good for fresh prince of bel air and men in black movies but when it comes to some of the best books being turned into movies he makes them a little to much hollywoodlike
