Firstly, the film was a separate story to the book, although similar. So the book is worth reading for film-watchers. This book is more reflective and thought provoking. There is a strong focus on the varying capacity for empathy for different people. People question their own reality, and how do they deal with the answer when they learn the truth. It's a short book that can be finished at a leisurely pace over a weekend.
