Yes, I got it because Daniel Radcliffe was in the eponymously named movie. It was a good read though.

Good premise, but the story was hard to follow. I'm not sure if it was a cultural thing, since Noonan is Australian, but the narrative seemed to skip all over the place. I had a hard time getting through. However, the premise was enough to make me want to see the movie.

B&N published an edition of this book with Daniel Radcliffe on the cover.
