movie and the focus of the book was more about why everything is dilapidated so explains the state of thinks you see in the movie. The movie however leaves out what is the point in the book. Despite that, all in all I preferred the movie.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

I re-read it in 2008. It was just as great a read as I remembered at age 12.<br>
Friday, SISL, TMIAHM and some of his other books are still great too, BTW.<br>
Throwing rocks - I love it.<br>
<br>
For a more current hard-sci-fi author, KSR's Red Mars series is pretty great.<br>
HIGHLY recommended.<br>
