i don’t think this story really works as a book but it’s still a good time. it lacks the atmosphere the movie had, which is hard to convey via text. i feel like i’m being told the story and not shown and from what the movie presented, there’s a lot to show. it’s very rigid in following the plot.
some novelizations do a good job at recreating the movie via book format, to the point that i feel like i wouldn’t even need to watch the movie. sometimes they even add little details. this isn’t one of those novelizations. i’ve seen the movie so many times that i got some enjoyment out of this but if i never had seen it or only seen it a couple of times id like this book even less. it feels so sterile compared to the movie.
