Oh man, this book was great! There were quite a few points where I was literally on the edge of my seat, even though I basically knew what was going to happen as I've seen the movie. As always, the book is much better than the movie and I quite enjoyed the movie! It was tense, it was smart, and it made my heart swell. Definitely worth a read.

I thought it was pretty meh. At times it felt kind of repetitive with finding problem, fixing problem while the outcome was obvious. Also, at times I zoned out because it was too technical. Just not really for me.
