Thoughts

I saw this film a long time ago and remember being confused by the title, but the book at least explained what that was all about. Did the film? Was I just not paying attention? Anyway, no matter, this was really well written and an interesting structure around different personalities. I felt like it got a bit drawn out in the middle, and there were a lot of characters and villains and layers upon layers of conspiracy that I couldn’t quite keep track of but overall a very enjoyable read.

Rating: 4 / 5
