I never re-read books, but wanted to re-read this before the film comes out! Incredibly gripping, unpredictable, and insightful.

I was really excited about this book street seeing the trailer of the movie version. What a disappointment. I anticipated intrigue and drama. Instead, it was like watching CSPAN during the Kevin McCarthy votes for Speaker of the House. Even the big reveal at the end was anticlimactic. Now I’m probably going to pass on the movie too. Ugh! Wasted time!!
