I bought this from Borders one day because I just had to buy something. This was the cheapest book I could find at $9.95.
It took me ages to read this because there is one section where he lives in a cave which I found terribly dull. It doesn’t really add much to the story though, so if you’re going to read this book and are struggling during the cave section, just skip it. It doesn’t matter.
I finished the book in October 2006 and watched the movie in January 2007. The book is better.
And, without trying intentionally to ruin the book for you, it has a killer ending. Big sex scene.
