I would certainly say I was only drawn to this at first due to the popularity of it. It wasn't an amazing book but wasn't bad either. I did it as an audio book in the car, and definitely found myself wondering what was going to happen next when I was not driving. Intrigued about the movie coming out this fall. At times I felt like it would translate well, at other times I thought it will fall flat. I am not happy that it is being reset in NYC rather than London, as the book just had such a British feel too it, however I guess that a movie set in America generates better American ticket sales.
