Having watched the movie several times throughout my life, I was only recently made aware that it was adapted from a book. For the scenes that existed in both book and movie, I could clearly visualize the characters and their voices. It was great to get more details and backstory of the world and its characters.

I liked the meta style of writing with the author jumping in here and there to explain various edits, additions and cuts. But I wasn't so much invested in the author's family life.
