Everything Is Illuminated

I've got the book and now I've got the dvd. What I don't have is the time :-(

To anyone who have both read the book and seen the movie, which one should I do first? I usually prefer reading the book first but from what I understand the movie doesn't follow the book much. Like The Da Vinci Code. Apparrently the movie is not so enjoyable if you've already read the book.

READ the book 1st! It made me laugh and cry. I have the DVD too, which unfortunately is screwed up on the audio part. i can only hear the background music. Bah.

Never, ever buy a pirated one when it comes to Elijah!! Unless, you really really couldn't find it anywhere of course. That happened to me quite often, very loud music with hardly audible dialogue. Really spoiled The Constant Gardener for me and I really love Ralph Fiennes. Or was it Liam Neeson? I'm always confusing those two.

Just checked mine. Seems okay. You didn't get the shop to replace yours with another?

Bought it at SunwayPyramid and i was too excited to check it 1st. To go back there is too far for me. Gah.
