Excellently written and the premise is so good I would've liked it anyway.

The premise is so fascinating, but this book was just so slow and wordy that I couldn't get into it. I liked the movie more. Sorry.

One of the rare books where the movie was better. Crazy slow opening- the plot doesn't really get moving until halfway through.

It's a good read, but the quite excellent movie ruined me for the book. The movie's narrative arc, pacing, world, characters and climax were far superior. This is one of the few cases where I felt the movie version of a book was more enjoyable and challenging than the original literary work.
