Read this because the sequel is coming out soon. Enjoyed the different character's viewpoints. Felt true to the movie. The book has spicier elements than the movie. Not totally satisfied by the ending.

Perrotta loves to plumb the depths of men who think they have no depths. None of the men in this novel can cope with a world that is evolving beyond them, and they deal with it in the worst possible ways. That's a common thread through all of Perrotta's work, and I'll keep coming back for it.
