The problem I had with this book, as well as many other books from this era that concern Americans abroad is the pacing and amount of details.

I'm not sure how I missed this book in the past. I never saw the movie either. I picked this up not expecting to like it, but I couldn't put it down. I can't say I liked any of the characters, but I thought it was really well written, and really wanted to know what was going to happen next.
