This is one of those cases where, in my opinion, the movie is better. I absolutely love all of the story elements, but the tangents and the tangents of tangents just became too much. I don’t mind narrative interruptions like in this book, but they are overwhelming and distracting. I know how well loved this book is, so it was a bit disappointing for me. The actual story and characters are amazing, though.
