 It’s good. Well written. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I do have to say that the movie is better. The book however is really good and I was invested all the way. Chuck is my fav character, he’s so sweet and nice and I love his lil jokes. The ending was really nice after all of that

Read following several viewings of the film adaptation. Even though I already knew the plot and the final twist, I still couldn’t put the novel down.

The added details and depth really enhanced the protagonist’s background and the extent of his delusions.
