Como persona que jamás se ha visto esta película, la verdad me sorprendió el libro.
Me gustó bastante, sobre todo el final cuando creíamos que ya todo se había acabado y ¡bam!, ¡plot twist!
Creo que quien decidió llevar esto a cine tuvo un acierto monumental, porque mientras lo leía no pude evitar pensar que estar viendo las acciones de los personajes en pantalla sería realmente épico y le daría un ambiente mucho más tétrico de lo que se pudo lograr con la obra.
Sin embargo, estoy bastante satisfecha con la historia en general.

a fun read that was very easy to blow through. There is a few problematic things in the book that knocked it down a peg. Its hard to tell if the problematic things are the author's actual viewpoint or are just part of these unlikable problematic characters...idk but I still had fun with the book.
