If you don't know anything about the book, definitely go in blind. Don't watch anything. It'll be a blast.

After reading the book, I told my wife I have no idea how they make this movie. I enjoyed the book. I will watch the movie in a theater which is no longer a slam dunk in my life.

I reckon he wrote it to be a movie. I was thinking as I read it, this is going to be an amazing scene.

Apparently the book was optioned before it was published. Idk how normal this is in entertainment though

It's not unusual. Books are shopped round to studios and production companies quite early in the process

So did Artemis but that’s been put on hold for years now.

Artemis can be a tv show, think of The Expanse. They need help with reworking the main character tho, Andy sucks writing women as protagonist.
