So while the book is absolutely nothing like the musical of the same name, I for one really enjoyed it. Did I like all of the characters? No. But I found it an intriguing read and while long, I found myself wanting to get to the ending and am now looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

It wasn't what I expected, but I am glad I have read it.

Reading after seeing the first movie , probably wouldn’t have understood the world had I read before hand and honestly I might like the movie better which is rare
