It was a good book. I think we read it in school, Tucker, didn't we?

I never even watched the movie because I was like the movie. There's no way it holds a candle to this.

I watched the movie recently and I was like, how do I know all the things that have happened here? And I think it's pretty good. I think it's pretty good. The things that happened are pretty good.
