  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
Boy howdy, this was a grimy, visceral read. I picked it up because my girlfriend Anne Hathaway is in the movie and it looked gay. Well, based on reading the book… I’m not sure the movie is going to be for me. I am glad I finished it, though, because there’s a rather big twist that I did not see coming, like a car crash that then you can’t stop watching.
