How faithful is this film to the novel? Is it very different?

After watching this I might check out the novel. Anyone here read it?
The Ritual is a 2011 British horror novel by Adam Nevill. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ritual_(novel)

If you liked the movie check out the novel. Part 1 of the novel is intense and really creepy, a real pageturner. As for the movie it follows part 1 pretty close.
Part 2 is completely rewritten, and thats a good thing. This part in the novel drags out, is repetitive and kills the pace. I didn't hate it, but part 2 is better in the movie.
