Well, the ending in the book is completely different to the film. In the film, "Rich man" (can't remember his name, sorry) dies, you see him being zipped into a body bag.
In the book he fakes his death and freezes himself, launching a little spacecraft in the hope he'll be rescued by aliens.
They don't play the hoax idea so strongly in the book, though. I bought it in reader format from (I think) the Barnes and Noble website, though any library should have a copy. It's actually quite a good book, but the best way is to watch the film and then read the book.
Crosswind technique: "Using your peripheral vision, react to body movements, gasps, groans, and shouts from the other side of the cockpit, and always remember that it's better to be lucky than good."
