When I heard there was going to be a movie made of this book I was SERIOUSLY skeptical, but also intrigued. My first reaction was that it’s undoable, so the result is going to be completely divorced from the book, but I knew I would be compelled to watch it, and then I was going to be devastatingly disappointed.

They're really quick reads, and you'll be bummed after you finish Day Two and you have NO IDEA when Day Three is coming. But when it's out, definitely read them! I’d wait until Day Three comes out.

I did re-read it this month and had an interesting experience in that this time, I was aware of its faults as I wasn’t the first time I read it.  I do agree with many of the comments above.  I do believe it’s important, though, to read the Afterward and Coda form later editions.  Many of these issues are addressed there.  And, yes, it was originally a short story, The Fireman.

I usually read a few chapters so I actually care what's going to happen to the characters and then go browse the last few chapters. It doesn't ruin the story for me at all. I love spoilers.
