It left me to wonder how much I would have enjoyed the book, without previously seeing the film. The film is a must see for anyone liking this genre. It is Paul Gross' best work, and I am a Paul Gross fan, so I will admit bias. Still, when I picked up the book, I expected light fluff, the type of promotional material that is put out there to market a major movie. And at times, it did feel like that but......it was better than what I thought it would be.
Did it give added insight. A little, show more there were a few small sections written from the perspective of 'the ghost'. It lets the reader know how Pete Mitchell was viewed by others. Mostly, it was just an easy enjoyable read. My first recommendation would be, if you haven't already, is to see the movie. show less
