Highly enjoyable but frustrating that you don't really find out what happens to one of the main characters.

Think the movie adaptation actually had a better, more cohesive ending. But this was delightfully bonkers and I loved seeing how ideas in this book were taken and twisted by the movie script writers. Lots of Easter eggs for fans of the novel. Very cool.

An implausible, stupid thriller, but a fairly fun implausible, stupid thriller. Kind of like if Quentin Tarantino made a Yakuza movie.

(Do not get any ideas, Quentin!)
