I read this book in one sitting and found it to be a nice quick read with an interesting conclusion.

The only problem I had was that I had already seen the movie prior to reading the book and I really wish I had been able to reverse that order. I found the book to be a little less entertaining and sometimes more difficult to sit through since I already knew what was coming next, so definitely read the book first!

it's a classic.

One of the Citizen Kane novels; strip-mined for characters and plot points for a century; often to better effect than their original incarnation. Worth a read for the period detail.
