I read the book after seeing the film. It is quite different, but then not really. Creasy is a white guy, ex french foreign legion, big, and the whole thing takes place in Italy. His buddy , the christopher walken character in th movie is younger then him, and is a widower. The book it more brutal is some regards.
The little girl is raped multiple times, and killed. but unlike the movie she stays dead.
The book takes it slower, with Creasy taking more time to train after being injured, and hanging out outside the city. He has a love affair etc...then comes back when hes tip-top again to exact his revenge. Things are generally better eplained, as to tactics etc...
Overall a good read, I would say the movie handled the pre-kidnapping stuff better, and the book the after kidnapping stuff was better.
