Really easy, basic writing and enough happening every few chapters you keep you interested. Super super needlessly long in some parts but not bad. I can see myself liking this a decade ago when it came out. It actually lines up with the movie well (I saw the movies multiple times before reading this). But tbh I thought the movie was better bc it kept things succinct and made it clearerÂ
