I just see justice or closure.
I read the book, and then I found out that there was a movie based off of it. I loved the book, and it's one of my favorites. I was disappointed with the movie, because it barely followed the book, but it had a great cast, and I love the lead actor. I just hope there is a remake soon that is more accurate to the book.
