I really loved how this novel expanded on Christina Ricci’s interpretation in the film. The movie was great, but the book takes you so much deeper into the character’s mind and the different directions psychotropic drugs can take your perception.
It’s confusing, gripping, unsettling, and completely consuming at times. You really feel like you’re getting lost inside the character’s thoughts, and I loved how the novel makes you question what’s real and what’s happening inside their head.
The feature film did a great job bringing the story to life, but the depth and psychological complexity of the novel made the experience even more fascinating for me
