I bought a used copy of this a few weeks ago. Can't wait to read it!

I'm 55 pages in, and was thinking about doing a chapter 1 summary, but I'm starting to think there isn't going to be a chapter 2!

This book is really good. I've seen most of the movie on cable (not the beginning or the end), and so far it reminds me a lot of the movie. It's definitely cheezy (anything with giant bats and giant snakes is unvariably cheezy), but I like it a lot.
