I really liked the movie, so I decided to read the book... I think I preferred the screen adaptation and the changes they made.

Also it's so clearly a book written by A Man and there's only so much graphic description of women's bodies that I can take before feeling a little disgusted. Judd in his head has a lot more Nice Guy energy that feels less intense in movie format as well.
