Wow. I don't know if I've ever said that before.
There are almost no differences between the two (except a few scenes added for humor). But as a whole, the book is much more cynical. Luther has a dark mind referencing suicide and gun violence, and there are racist remarks sprinkled throughout.
The thing I really wished for from the movie was more about the character Marty, but there's nothing unique to the book about him unfortunately.
Moderate: Racism
Minor: Suicidal thoughts and Gun violence
