It may have been a mistake to watch the movie first, but I wasn't aware of the book until I had. I found Doon and Linna to be somewhat selfish in the book. They weren't completely unsympathetic, but they weren't terribly endearing. I don't feel like they had enough info to reasonably put the puzzle together, so things felt a little jumbled and rushed at some points to me.

I'm glad that I read it, though, and I'm curious about the next book.
