I’ve never seen the movie, but I think that this was really a good book. It took a little longer to read because the urgency wasn’t necessarily there. I love how the chapters were divided up, but each had its natural end so this means that I didn’t necessarily feel compelled to read the next. But I think as an overall work it was very good. The only thing I didn’t love was the epilogue. I mean what happened was good, but the way it was written was a bit cheesy, but maybe that was on purpose. To capture that very typical early 2000s movie ending feel.
