I just got done reading 'The Prestige', and it was an amazing book.

from what i've heard about the movie, it's not half bad either, but is VERY different from the novel.

One of the things that's missing that's a very big part(and a VERY interesting chunk of the story) is the flashbacks from the modern day.

the book takes place in about the year 1995 and the 2 of the remaining desdendants of the 2 feuding magicians read thru the diaries of the 2 magicians. I won't give away anymore from there, but i find it very dissapointing that that isn't featured in the movie.

I would suggest reading the book.
