Honestly this is one of those occasions where I think the movie is better than the book. I think Taika took this story in a better direction. I got to about 50% when I couldn't really stand listening to Johannes go on and on about Elsa and how he practically owned her. Just not my thing.

Great book I read after seeing Jo Jo Rabbit. I really think the movie did the right thing, ending at about halfway through the book. The second half is almost a different story, and really changes things, and is incredibly troubling and thought provoking.
