Yah the book is way better. I couldn't stand what they did kazouo. In the book he has no emotions and it goes deeper than that. He was a much more interesting character. Instead they turn him into some who transfered because who wants to kill people so he joins up. Kitano's performance was gold though. Much better than the novel's one. He was hysterical it's one of my favorite performances of his. It's worth watching just for that. I was disapointed by the movie. They took an amazing book and turned it into 2 hours of kids shooting each other. Still enjoyable, but nowhere near the book's quality.
