I'll have to read it at some point. I agree that I wanted the movie to have one more scene. Also, in those dangerous scenes near the end, if the woman had just done what women in that situation have probably always done to ensure quiet, would it have ruined the plot? Maybe. But it rang false to me that she didn't even try it. Trying not to give spoilers, but I can elaborate if people want me to.

Although the ending seemed to me as if it needed another scene as I thought it ended rather abruptly. I'm curious as to whether the book was similar.
