I really enjoyed the book and am looking forward to seeing the movie as well. I've probably given 25 copies of the book to friends and family over the last couple of years and they have enjoyed it as well.
On a side note, I saw Anna Paquin (sp?) aka Sookie Stackhouse of True Blood fame working out in the gym on Tuesday morning at my club. Having never watched an episode of True Blood (and having a 10-year old son) I recognized her from the X-Men movies. Though my workout partners strongly encouraged to start watching True Blood! LOL
