I read the book before I saw the 1979 miniseries. I loved the book - hated the miniseries. So, IMO, this remake could only be an improvement - particularly because it will supposedly stick closer to the book.
I felt the same way with The Shining. I loved the book - but I hate the 1980 Jack Nicholson/Shelley Duval(who was woefully miscast) movie version. The 1997 Steven Weber/Rebecca DeMornay miniseries was much more faithful to the book, and IMO, more satisfying.
