A bit of a shame really, I picked this up after watching the film expecting the rule of the book is always better to be the case, unfortunately it wasn't. Eddie I find is strangely distant here, he's cold, he doesn't have as much depth as it seems in the film, and what's worse is he doesn't feel like 'fast' Eddie, perhaps 'flat' Eddie would be more suitable. Not one I'd recommend.
