I’m feeling very conflicted. So often a movie doesn’t live up to a book. So I’m wondering if I should wait and see the movie first and be less disappointed with the movie, but potentially ruin the ending of a great book. Or read the book first and then accept the natural order of things. 😂🙄 Option 3 could be to wait for your book review and make my decision from there. ☺️

I'm betting on overhyped

It's a pretty interesting and unusual book, but I didn't think it was at the level where it would earn much hype. But yeah probably better to read before seeing the movie.

Rather than the other way around

Pressure is on! 😅 I guess the trick is to never expect the movie adaption to live up to the book. At this point I just want to enjoy a good book 🫣

It's an excellent book if you accept a lower level of emotional maturity. Put yourself in the shoes of a highschooler or middle schooler and it slaps. Read it before the movie was announced and really enjoyed it.

Testing zaps for this note… we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, at rosssavage@stacker.news, over a period of 42 minutes. In each case, we found that your lightning address server did not respond correctly. (The failure point was when we did a GET request to your specified callback URL: https://stacker.news/api/lnurlp/rosssavage/pay ). Your server did not produce an invoice, thus the zap failed. The error we got was "could not generate invoice to customer's attached wallet". If you wanted to fix this... you could try a free rizful account --

... if u set it up, pls reply here so we can do this ⚡zap test again.

I very much enjoyed this book. It took me back to discovering sci-fi as a kid. There's kind of an innocence to it. You will enjoy it if you liked The Martian. I can't believe I have to wait 9 months for the movie now...

Looks like I’m buying a new book this week!! 😂📚 Thanks for letting me know 💜

And purchased! 💜

Also purchased extras… 📚 I go in for one book!!! 📕

Great 🙂 hope you enjoy it!

Always happens 😅 that's what bookshelves are for 🫠

Is it your first time reading 1984?

It will be yes! Though I haven’t decided on which order to read them yet and the new books are competing with my existing TBR pile, which is a good problem to have! 😂
