Omigosh its so good! Its sitting beside me on the floor because I lent it to a friend. You have to read it before you see the movie because its about 20x better.

I loved the book, and you just might too, even if you're not a fan of mystery/suspense. It got kinda scary in some places, but i was able to handle (and that's saying a lot 'cause I get scared easily ^^). The overall plot is REALLY clever, but I was upset with the ending. It just seemed like the author ran out of time and just wrote the first thing that came to his mind without going into depth about it.
But other than that, it was great and WAY better than the movie.

The movie is good, along with the book. Well, the movie is kinda low budget, but I still think it's worth watching. I've seen it around six times.
In my opinion, the book is better than the movie because it has more detail and description.

I read Hangman's Curse so many times as well. it is most definitely a good read!
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone
And so hold on when there is nothing left in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!' ...you'll be a Man, my son!
