It's not often that the film is better than the book, but that's the case with The Town. The novel meanders for more than 600 pages covering the crimes of four criminal partners and the gradual unraveling of the partnership as Doug, the brainy one, falls for Claire, the bank teller he helped to kidnap on a recent bank job. The bones of the story are fine, but I found myself skipping some of the lengthier passages. Not recommended.
