It was... fine. The plot was really far-fetched. Like, ridiculous. Especially just the sheer number of times this movie was stolen and killed for and mistaken for other things. For such an outrageous plot, though, the narration was good, and I appreciated Roy's character growth, how he realizes that his obsession with movies was just a way to avoid real life. I liked his anxiety-driven use of movie trivia (and I also like the trivia itself) a lot. The twist at the end was mildly interesting. Overall, I didn't hate it, but it wasn't that good.

The suspense of it picked up rather quickly, which would have made it an easy read if the author didn't use dashes in almost every single sentence. And I wasn't too crazy about the ending.
