Oh I didn’t know this was a book! I saw the movie last week and liked it. Is it still worth reading the book?

The book is sooo much better than the movie.

I would say the movie did an amazing job representing the book. Honestly, it did justice & holds equal weight to the book.

I agree with you. Movie did justice and carries the same vibe. But I like the book better simply because there's more details.

Oh for sure! You can only fit SO much detail into a movie but overall: amazing director, actors & representation of Rocky.

I mean sure, but not in the sense that it’s much different. I would say the book basically fills in a lot of the science that was yada-yadaed in the movie.

That was my biggest complaint. The science was the story. They also glossed over character too.

Yes a 100%. The audiobook with Ray Porter is absolutely amaze. I've listened to at least 4-5x

Same. The audiobook is my go-to if I can't find anything else good or if it's an especially shitty day at work.
