I enjoyed this book. I often don't when I've watched a film first as I spend too long comparing. But this book was beautifully written, and I felt the occasional mix of perspective helped develop the story. I hadn't realised there was a second book, but I'm hoping we get more of Ritchie.

While there is a whole conversation to have about the topics this book involves, the book in itself just feels poorly written. There's no captivating element. The characters are all dislikeable, and the writing isn't moving at all, even when it tries.

This book was beautiful. It was beautifully written, everything. I’d already seen the movie about a dozen times, so I wanted to try the book. As most people say, “The book is usually better.” That is an understatement here. If you haven’t read this book, you are seriously missing out.
