If you’re a big “SBTB” fan… and you’re willing to see it without rose-colored nostalgia glasses… I strongly recommend the book. (In spite of all my criticisms, I read the entire thing in one day and never found myself bored or daydreaming.) If you’re not a big “SBTB” fan, though, or you’d like to keep the cast members pure and innocent, preserved in mylar bags attached to your wall like The Collector… then focus your reading attention on a book with more literary merit.
AKA any book written by anyone other than Dustin Diamond or Stephenie Meyer.
