I watched the movie before going into this book and I 100% prefer the movie. I thought I was going to love this book because of how much I liked the movie but that was not the case. Personally the characters felt like an afterthought that still needed to be fleshed out. The Marine Biologist did get more fleshed out but it took so long that the scraps I was given didn’t help in making me care about the character. Everything else was what kept me reading but had the characters been more fleshed out this could of easily been five stars for me.
