The book felt more shallow than the film. We gain insight into a few of the perspective characters (particularly Saw Gerrera and Cassian Andor) and the leadership of the Rebel Alliance, but others remain cyphers. The writing is pretty solid, nevertheless. I suppose it's a reflection of my thirst for anything set in this universe at this particular juncture in time, but I would read further novels set here (not even necessarily about the Rogue One team).
Still gave me the feels, though.
If you've seen the movie, and you want to get even more out of the movie, read this.
The novelization is pretty much a written out script of the movie, but it adds so much. In the literal sense, there's a few extra scenes that we weren't shown (nothing big), but some of the extra dialogue and really getting what every character is thinking just deepens everything that happens and it makes some scenes even more beautiful than they already were. Absolutely loved it.
