This was hard to enjoy after seeing the movie version. I had a difficult time separating the two, as the movie streamlined the plot much more succinctly. The book felt long and jumpy. 

In terms of the plot, I really did not love that
Alex didn't discover the villain on his own. He was told outright by someone else, which really undermines his heroic character.
