I got this book and read it after I saw the movie. I was kind of disappointed that certain parts of the plot were either changed or completely omitted which alluded to a certain spoiler.
But then I found out that the book was set to be released before the movie was available in theaters, and therefore they didn't want to spoil the fans. I just didn't read it in the order that they probably intended--but it's a MOVIE first and foremost, so I wasn't about to read the book first. Lord of the Rings? Narnia? Yeah, I'll definitely read the books before I see the movies. But Superman? Star Trek? Anything like that? Definitely seeing the movie first.
