To me, this book had some good, some bad.

The characters are quirky and interesting, but several significant characters never got quite beyond being cartoonish for me. Perhaps the intention of the author was to have this have the feel of a comic book? It didn't really work for me.

I found the narration grating. To me, it was oddly written in the present tense. I kinda got used to it by the end, but it never flowed for me. I would suggest doing the "look inside" or free sample thing to try this book out before buying it.

The plot and setting development were interesting and fun. However, I found they were also pretty inconsistent. It almost felt like a rough draft, but there are hardly any typos, so the author made sure the details were taken care of but somehow, the big picture remained inconsistent.

At first, I was really surprised this book is going to be made into a movie. However, on further reflection, it does read somewhat like a screenplay, and maybe, with a little editing, it could be a decent movie.
