Having never seen the movie helped with keeping the suspense and twist sooooo much more interesting! Even though the twist is hinted at about 3/5 of the way in, I still could not believe everything that they were trying to make him come to terms with was true. This was truly such a great read and I’m so excited to watch the movie when I get the chance.

Have to point the completely unnecessary usage of the n-word thrown in towards the end
