You're quite good at turning me on.

I too live in the uncultured wastelands of Canada and am not sure if/when I'll be able to see this film, but I read the book recently and loved it, and while I know the movie is basically unrelated I'm wondering if any particular scenes or elements are taken from the book besides the general premise. Such as do we see what her alien form is? Do we meet the other aliens? Are any of the men she meets based on the men in the book? One thing I would have really liked to see from the book is what the "monthlings" look like but from what I gather that angle's been changed entirely.

Is the book any better? Also is it any less artsy?

I enjoyed both the book and movie but they have entirely different tones. The book is told from the perspective of the alien species and everything they do is presented very matter-of-factly.
