Imma be honest: I didn't know much of what was going on and really couldn't keep most of the names straight. I only knew a vague outline of the plot after watching the movie adaption years ago and, since they take roughly the same amount of time, I'd pick the movie.

The ending was not what I expected but I liked it. My main issue with the length was

Vampa’s backstory (don’t think this a spoiler but alas)

, the rest was fair length. I’d say it’s a page-turner for  the majority of the book.

This book is SO LONG! I'm pretty sure I enjoyed the beginning of this book but I can't actually remember.
