Helpful Score: 4
A good light read. Fills in many of the gaps from the movie although there are parts of the movie that are not in the book. In some ways, the descriptions are far more graphic than depicted in the movie such as how certain characters died. It does repeat the theme of hope, especially at the end. The story is occasionally choppy because it jumps from viewpoint to viewpoint.
Overall, it is a fair read if you are looking for a story that is somewhat predictable but it is an enjoyable story.
