I liked it, I did, but... I did have a couple of issues that dropped a half star.
Firstly, I would have like a better sense of that time period. I was looking forward to comparing what I know of that time with details in the book. Unfortunately, these details were few and far between.
Secondly, I found Eddie's feeling for Johnny and his feelings for Jack transitioned much too quickly. One moment he's professing his love to Johnny and the next he's telling Jack the same thing. Yes, I realize several weeks have passed in Eddie's life but we, the reader, are only told that; we don't actually get to experience any of that passage of time.
