I saw the film first, then read the book, expecting to get deeper into the story and characters with the book (as is often, though not always, the case).

As it turns out, I found Lawrence's repetitive style to be pretty annoying, and have long since forgotten whatever the book contained that wasn't put into the film. Russell distilled it perfectly. The film is better.
