Time Traveler's Wife: Movie vs. Book

[desertvixen]

 So, opinions from any on the list who have read the book, watched the movie or both - Is it worth getting?

 I found a pretty nifty breakdown of the differences here.  I'm still uncertain.  It seems like they took out some of the parts of the book I enjoyed, especially changing the ending (although the book ending probably wouldn't have worked).  I'm also having a hard time picturing Ron Livingston as Gomez.

ETA: Just realized it's not very clear - I have read the book, and was wondering about whether to bother getting the movie.  That's what I get for posting too late!

The book is brilliant! I definitely recommend it!

When I finished reading it, I was very moved by the story. The author combined science fiction and romance so well that you forgot that you were reading a sci-fi and romance novel.

Usually the book is always better with any story. I never read this book but have watched the movie and it was outstanding! I recommended all my friends watch it. So again if the book was great, which I did hear it was, you won't be disappointed with the movie. Just makes me want to read the book now! Loved the story.
