First opinion

About how I read in the two first chapters, I had others ideas about this reading because I tought the would be different than it is. For be sincere I hoped that the book was how the film and ins't be like it...
At the beginning of this book  I found it interesting because the first chapter is a falshforward to the history, it explain how pass at a particular time of the present and start to talk about  the past when starts the second chapter...

I hope I will like this book when I will be reading it,  because I don't like how start the history in the beginning and I think finally that this book wasn't for me. But I will read it with the same interesting. :)
