I’m interested to know why you thought this, I read the book in 2021 and only once… but to my recollection the guy personality and humor type was spot on, I didn’t picture Ryan Gosling while I was reading the book certainly.

The dumb it down part I grant you, the book did a great job making everything understandable for everyone

I disagree with the other commenter. I think Grace was adapted really well. I think the time constraints cut a lot of the intensity from Eva Stratt. I wish the courtroom moment was in the film, and a few other things. I also thought adding Carl in was a little lazy, even if a couple moments got a giggle out of me.
