The writing does not get better in the sense you are looking for, I don't think. Previous Message
read the book first, because people said the book was great and gives good context that the movie doesn't have.
I'm about 20% of the way through and so far this book sucks. It's not billed as a YA novel, but it's absolutely written like one. Is it just a deliberate choice in the beginning because the story starts from the point of view of a guy with some kind of brain damage?
Any of you book people know whether this gets better?
