This book was a page turner. I have to say that, even tho this is a movie (one of which I have never heard may I remind you), I could not put this down. It is very edge of your seat. You read on like you have to know what’s goin to happen next. It’s slow going at first, but then it picks up rather quickly. I finished it in a day and a half. But if you have a hard time reading about (minor) violence, and you get lost rather easily, then this book really isn’t for you. It does somewhat jump around. It is made mostly of flashbacks of the main characters own life. It is the main thing that bothers him thru the story. One scene in his life that plays over and over until it confuses even the reader because it changes every time. But if your into that whole sci-fi/futuristic techknowledgy thing, i think you may enjoy it. I know I did.
