After watching the movie, I knew what to expect from the book… but that didn’t stop it from absolutely wrecking me all over again. I know I’m gonna be thinking about this book for weeks, like I was with the movie, because it’s just so good and so terribly sad and messed up and it’s had such an indescribable effect on me. I will say I’m glad I watched the movie first, because

the shock was more profound when you find out what really happened to Brian towards the end when the blue light shines on him, but in the book it’s kinda obvious from like half way in.
