3.0

For a novella, this book certainly read like a full length novel. Not in a good way. It was extremely slow to move forward and didn't pick up much until almost 65% in. As if most of the book was setup. It was frustrating.

I read this because I liked the movie. I prefer the movie. This novella works better that way.
