The book delves in to the emotions of the characters so much more than the movie. I read the book first and loved it. The movie didn't hold my interest and so much of the story was lost in the translation. This is a fantabulous piece of fiction.
Enchanting and intriguing

I have only seen parts of the movie, which is why i wanted to read this book. Joan Vinge is an excellent writer and, in my opinion, adds to this beautiful tale of forbidden romance. I can't say whether you'll enjoy it as much as the movie because i don't know, but it really gives one a sense of the emotions drive the characters. The epilog is an amusing and quaint surprise as well.
