This was the November selection for our book club. The movie had just come out to a local movie theatre known for the artist type movies. We decided to go see it just after it came out so that we wouldn't miss it in theatres. We all agreed that seeing the movie first helped us appreciate and finish the book. We also agreed this was a very weird decision that the movie was better than the book. However, we found value and great discussion around both together.

The book is a both depressing and up lifting.
