The ending sunk the overall rating. Downshifted into overt philosophical musings that felt like too much a deviation from the voice and arc of the book

Growing up, this was one of my all time favorite movies and I always wanted to read the book. Like the movie, it is very subjective and there is a wide variety of messages to takeaway from it. While it is a slow burn, once it picked up I never lost interest. Ed Tom Bell is one of my all time favorite characters, and his dialogue strikes me to my core.
