Great book, but don't expect it to be like the movie. It's kind of like seeing Blade Runner, then reading Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. There's one scene from the book in the movie, the rest is different. Still a great book! Just not much in common with the movie ….

Meh

It was a very slow and confusing start to the book. There were multiple times I just wanted to give up and stop reading. However the third part of the book really picked up steam and I could begin to understand why this is a beloved series.

PopSugar Challenge 2021: "A book about forgetting."

I can really see why this was made into a movie franchise. The actions scenes helped move the book along in terms of pace. However, for me, the narrative and even dialogue portions of the story moved very slowly.
