I won't say the book is better because it's a book and the movie isn't, so you can't compare the two, but I do like the book better than I like the movie, and the movie is in my top 100. But all the reasons why I like the book are mostly stuff like it gives more backstory and has more detail, and books have more time for that than movies. The biggest difference is the Kiriyama and Kawada characters. Kawada is about the same, but the book version of Kiriyama is SOOOO much better.
