I didn't see SWTWC when it first came out, but when I noticed that it would
be on cable, I read the book first and then saw the movie.  I was rather
disappointed in the movie.  I felt the book was much better.  Nothing
definite about the movie, I just thought the characterizations were better
in the book.  I also thought the movie was somewhat disjointed and lacking
explanation for some of the things that happened.  (I would point these out
with examples if I could remember them, but I can't).
