I liked the book way better than the movie but that's the way it goes. What I appreciate about both though is that the main character is intensely flawed in a way that you don't often see in fiction. Her alcoholism wasn't just a superficial character trait, it was integral to the story and exposed in away that it was very easy for me to be sympathetic to her and her situation.
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
