Read this for the fantasy group!

Anyway, I thought thsi book was very good but not perfect. The characters motivations were, for me, often a bit hard to understand and the characters acted erratically. I didn't understand why the girl fell for the boy in the end. It seemed unrealistic to me as their personalities didn't mesh well and they never seemed to have any fun together. Overall the style was amusing but never funny. I'd recommend it, but not heartily, and I'd recommend the movie over this.

If you like the movie you'll love the book. Much more interesting plot and just more content in general since it's a book
