I found the film to be very funny, creative, moving and above all, memorable. The book is all these things too. I was surprised as often when you read screenplays you get the extra benefit of seeing all the dialogue they removed from the script during editing etc but I found the finished film product was remarkably similar to the screenplay with barely anything changed or taken out (that I noticed after one viewing anyway)

The book (and the film) are a wonderful rip roaring adventure and tale of friendship which will genuinely touch your human side. I found it wonderfully witty as well with lots of genuine humour and sarcasm.

The book brought back all the happy memories of the film and I would thoroughly recommend it to any fans

Not as good as the movie but a fantastic and revealing screenplay. Anderson's notes and details are adorable and this is just a feel-good script.

I loved this play. The film was also a great version of it. Reminded me of the great gatsby. A great mans life and how a young boy sees it all. I think this never gets old. Now if someone wants to give me a present, it can be an english version of this book :))
