I've been meaning to read this book for ages, ever since I heard about the movie (Of course, I wanted to read it first before watching the movie). I got through the book pretty quickly. I liked the tone of the book in the beginning, and I quite liked the build-up of the story. It was fast-paced and very intriguing, so I was kept engaged. It is also predictable, which I don't mind if it is done well. However, the ending was rushed, fell flat, and lacked the thrill I was expecting. Overall, an average book at best. While it was enjoyable, it wasn't as great as I had hoped. I will still be watching the movie though.
