The book was very cinematic in style - and is one of those rare instances that I was not disappointed in the movie after enjoying the book. There is not a large deviation, and sections feel like they were transplanted from the book (well my imaginings for the book) The Coen's were even quoted as "One of us types into the computer while the other holds the spine of the book open flat."I watched No Country for Old Men twice. Once when it came out, and then again about a year later. I felt underwhelmed by it both times. I think I do need to watch it again. But it felt so lacking and not well rounded in how it is presented.
I want to read the book. I would place money on that I would enjoy it more than the film.
Only other book to movie adaption that I have ever felt truly captured the mood was "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption".
