I solidly enjoyed the book. It was an easy read. I've only seen the movie, although I'd love to watch the musical. The book goes way more in depth than the movie, notably giving way more context/background to the O. G. through the Persian. I was also surprised how much was told by Raoul and almost none from Christine. That it was written as a journalistic inquiry was also quite interesting.
