Honestly I watched the movie. I had to have surgery and was going to be off work for 2 or 3 weeks so I bought the book. I read all of it in a few days. I gave it to my son and he's read it a few times himself.
I know that people don't like the movie, but as a kid I loved it. Especially the bit about the whale and the petunia got me particularly interested in the whole thing.

Yes but that you won't get unless you read the book. The movie left a lot out but I still enjoyed it.
