Now, the film and the book do differ signficantly in terms of both structure and plot. I haven't rewatched the film since, but I have rewatched The Illusionist (which was based on a short story by Stephen Millhauser) and my conclusion is the same: The Prestige is the superior story. In February I listened to the auidobook version of Christopher Guest's novel, The Prestige, upon which Christopher Nolan based his film. At the time I greatly preferred The Presitge, but didn't put much thought into why. What can I say, I like stuff about magicians. I also watched The Illusionist (starring Edward Norton and Paul Giamatti) when that came out a few months later on DVD. I watched the film version of The Prestige (directed by Christoper Nolan and starring Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale) when it came out in cinemas in 2006.
