I liked the writing in this book and I liked the art in it, but I wasn't a big fan of it.

I WANT TO READ THIS!!! It looks so interesting. 😎😎😜
All I can say is lol
I loved this movie. It was so amazing. I am looking every for this book. I mean online wise. I advise you to read it and/or see it. There are plot twists. Especially one that is really gasp worthy... Everything falls into place when you are confused and think nothing will be peaceful. Though I can say I have not read the book , i bet it is amazing. There should be other movies and books like this. There is action, mystery, turns, and laughable moments.
