I never really read the book because I came to it right after watching and thoroughly enjoying the movie and the book was very close in plot, so I felt I hadn't missed anything. But I agree it was a great story.
I haven't managed to track down the sequels, although I seem to recall I was a bit put off by the fact that they didn't continue that story, but went on with other characters and I really wanted to know what happened next after the movie ended. I could be wrong though. So if you do get to read them, I'd be very interested to hear what you thought.
Anyway, just thought I'd add my thumbs up for this one.
