• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

Adds deeper layers to the movie and the musical. Both of which I was fans of before reading the book. Which was well worth the listen.
