it was amazing

In general I almost always prefer the original novel and/or movies compared to any remake. I am almost always disappointed by the supposed new & improved version.

This takes on a different approach entirely without attempting to improve what was already a great story yet instead fast forward it into more of today's era. I thought it was rather cleverly integrated throughout how texting and email were used in the heat of the moment and other places I won't give away. One other very big jump from the time the original to the time this was written will become very apparent when you read some of what is on Mr. Hyde's naughty list. Even in today's society it is still a hot topic but back then the book would never have been published if mentioned.

I recommend the book. Short, interesting, a great book to compare & contrast and simply enjoyable.
