Just finished that last week, it was a gift for my mum last year, but she hasn't got around to reading it yet.
Aside from the detail in the printed word that is often lost in film adaptations, I thought it was reasonably faithful to the book.
It piqued my curiosity as to 'what the disaster was' that put an end to civilisation as we know it, the lack of a definite answer to this was something that added to the whole out of time feeling the book had, the isolation and detachment from what was before.
On the harshness scale of disaster/fall of mankind stories it was a little bit behind Lucifers Hammer in it's scale but had a more intimate character for all of that.
Recommended.
