I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I went into it knowing very, very little about what it was about, which I also think added to the experience. This book made me feel so many different emotions and I enjoyed reading it in an almost stream of consciousness POV from Jack.

I wish I could rate it higher. I came here from the movie and the book BLEW me away. Phenomenal. Such an interesting perspective from which to tell this tale.
