    Oh what? Interesting, That’s making the novel sound more interesting to me. It’s funny, I coincidentally watched the movie again for the first time since it came out just a couple weeks ago.

    Thanks

      It’s not bad, the modern frame doesn’t even really change the feel of the story, although the way the rest of the story is presented is also complicated. I recommend reading it, especially if you’ve seen the movie and enjoyed it.

      I was grateful the movie simplified the presentation so that you could really focus on the underlying interesting bits. I left the novel still a little confused as to WTF was going on some regards and the movie makes the essential plot reveals much easier to follow.

        Okay, cool. I kind of wish I waited to watch the movie a little longer now, and appreciate your take on the book.
