Very similar to the movie, so if you love the movie you'll enjoy this. The action scenes are really well written and despite having scene the movie and knowing how it ends I felt like I was still on the edge of my seat reading the last bit. That's good writing. I liked the ending, I actually wish they could have added the author's last aside/closing to the movie, like having the grandpa say it or something. I liked the author's repeated statement of "life isn't fair" while the tale emphasis is you shouldn't give up, you should still fight for what you love.
