This is definitely an anxiety inducing book, that's for sure! I wasn't sure what to expect going into this book, I've never seen the movie and it's my first book from this author! I both read this physically and listened to the audiobook when I could, I'm not sure that I really liked the audiobook as at times it was very difficult to know which of Wen's fathers was talking at any given point in time, but grabbing the physical book and following along made that a little easier. While I enjoyed the plot and trying to figure out what was and wasn't real, I'm not totally sure that it worked for me in the end.  I tend to like more....concrete answers at the ending of the books I read and I think there was a little more left up to the reader's interpretation than what I normally enjoy. I'm glad I read this though and I'll check out more books from Paul Tremblay!
