I loved this book. I found the writing to be lyrical, and it is worth reading for the rich descriptions alone. I have been a fan of the movie since the 80s, but have never read the book until now. The character of Billy is much more mysterious, almost sinister, in the book than in the movie. The book has a richness and depth that I did not expect. It is well worth reading.
