This isn't a history book, it's a story. There's clear heroes and villains. Despite it hinting that people are complex, no one is ever shown as something other than entirely bad or entirely good.
This one is definitely worth getting the audiobook. I usually don't like audiobooks since they're so slow compared to reading. But the way he read it made it funnier and more enjoyable
There's quite a few plot holes and it spends a lot of time stuck in certain plot points that really don't matter. But there's some beautiful depth of character in several scenes. I love a story that can take an interesting and unique notion and carry it to far reaching impacts on a story.
This book caused me to reevaluate my life, to ponder where my life would be and what makes a good one. I'm a little confused why the author decided that the best life possible was hiking and looking at pretty things.

Very different from the movie but quite enjoyable. Good little easy fluffy read that has some suspense. Climax fell a little flat, but not terribly so. I'm quite glad I read the book before the movie.
