The book was underwhelming for me. This might be because I had watched the movie first but I felt like there was much left to desire at the end, maybe this was intentional but this book was a let down which is disappointing for such a hyped up book. There was also so much information for what in my opinion is a short book that felt unimportant in hindsight and didn't really add to to the story.
