Came from the movie trailer. Thought it'd be good research. Would have I been as engaged if I wasn't raised catholic? Probably not. Am I glad I read it before the movie? Yes. Do I think the twist is plausible? No. But I did enjoy it. I'm curious how closely the movie will follow the ending. From one POV it's divisive.
