Otis Wardell is a good bad guy name and Adam Driver has a good ugly bad guy face

Thinking of ordering the novel and reading it. For anyone that's already read this, is it worth it?

I think it was written (mostly) to set up the movie, not necessarily to be an independent novel. Far more details than a screen play, and very graphic in some of the attack scenes, but it does linger in a few areas a bit too long for me.

Some of what Wardell does will have to be paired down on the screen. He makes Waingro look like a boy scout.

Yeah, I recall it dragging on a little bit in some areas.

Good bull my friend, thanks. I might take you up on that… I'm trying to decide if I want to spoil the movie, or wait until after the movie comes out and then read it. I'm assuming we're 1-2 years out on this thing.

No problem, you can DM me if you decide you want it. I bought it after this thread was started and now don't remember everything in the book. So if it doesn't come out for 2 years it probably wouldn't spoil it for you. Unless you have a better memory than me (which is highly possible).

Filming begins in January, so we're likely looking at the first half of 2028 release-wise. Maybe even the second half, should they go for any kind of awards play. We shall see...

I feel like those that have read it/listened to it, will understand what is going on with the time line, and a few of the other characters, better.

Plus, with it being Michael Mann, he may vary it up some/change the ending etc. who knows.
