Sometimes uneven but enjoyable. I wish the quality of the prose was more consistent but it’s still pretty pleasurable. It seems to have held up reasonable well, though it’s very overt in its parable moments. Still, always prefer an author who dares to make their stories About Something.

I remember there being a bit of a hubbub about how the movie diverged from the newest movie, but from what I recall the movie seems to be the same? Maybe it’s just been a while and I can’t pick out the differences? Or perhaps it was more about the older movies being better because they didn’t jump around in time as much. I really liked the movie, whatever was going on there. It’s what drove me to pick up the book.
