Reading this was a trip lol. I've seen the movie adaptation of this quite a few times and I've always enjoyed it (minus that one scene I fast forward through) so I was excited to read the book. Surprisingly the adaptation was pretty truthful and honest to the source.
I could picture the characters and the scenes from the movie while reading this, plus the way it was written really felt like you were in his head / he was talking to you directly. Highly enjoyable read.
