How was this different to the book?


I've heard that it ends differently to the book... Has anyone read it? What is different?

The book is a TON more erotic. I haven't finished it, but Frank and Cora are doing some kinky things (and within the first ten pages things). There's some other differences, like Nick is a Greek in the book, not Canadian.

Well, one thing: the postman rings like, three or four times in the book. But it's hard to translate something like that onto the big screen.
