I've seen the movie multiple times, which definitely colored my reading of the book, but a friend lent it to me so I decided, why not? Overall a fun story. Some parts didn't age well, mainly just the sexualizing of the one female character who was given a speaking role and wasn't a nun. Like I don't need a description of how physically attractive she is when first meeting her, and it definitely didn't need to be repeated once already said. Other than that, fun, pretty easy read.
