I did not find this book as interesting or engaging as I had expected I would. I feel like it could have been shorter than it was and still get the same thing across. I didn't really get into the book until the last part of the book.

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 clearer
