I haven't read any of her books but fortunately there are a couple in the local library here. Not this one but the others. I will be reading them.

I've watched the film version twice - quite a while ago. One of those that slams into you and makes you question your own evaluation of the word 'survival'. I would like to get the book, definitely soon.
