I remember reading it decades ago thinking to myself, "I thought the movie was good, but the book is much better." I remember the time reading it clearly - we were down at the Padre Island beach (maybe it was Mustang Island) in south Texas a couple of decades ago, nighttime, in the hotel, everyone was asleep except for me. Sitting in the bathroom in the middle of the night plowing through the book (only place I could have the light on and not disturb the rest of the family). I guess I wasn't bored with it!
I just re-watched the movie about 3 weeks ago. Actually, I went on a binge and watched all five of the movies in the franchise. My wife was at a medical conference in Hawaii, sending pictures, which made me think of the filming locations, and, well, there you go. I had to re-watch them. The first movie was the best. The book was better. The second book - I have it in my collection, but honestly can't remember if I read it or not. So if I did read it, it didn't make much of an impression on me evidently.
