Okay, so, firstly, I have to say that this book is an absolute delight. It's so funny and clever, and the little bits where Goldman talks are equally enjoyable. If you love the movie (which, how can you not?), then this is a must-read. You'll love it just as much, if not more. Really, I don't think there's more I can add - the movie is very faithful to it, which means you're not constantly sitting and thinking about how disappointing the adaptation was, and it gives you a better appreciation for the casting. Highly recommended!
