    Same. It’s clearly by an inexperienced author but the story and moment-to-moment storytelling was neat.

    Even the movie was great IMO, clever way of modernizing the components of the novel for the audience the movie was intended for.

      The novel is already fairly modern, and they just totally reworked the story in ways it didn’t need to be while also making the protagonists get into trouble by doing stupid shit instead of making the villains more intelligent or one step ahead, so that’s always a net loss for me.
