started to get frustrated at the pop culture references that show this adaptation is halfway between a translation and a retelling and while it may be faithful in spirit to the original it clearly is doing its own thing to talk about britain too...found a pdf that seems to just be a regular translation and page ONE there is extra dialogue in this one i'm reading that was totally made up and not in the original. ?

book number 5 for fiction and film class. was googling a bit to figure out whether i should be tagging this as 'translated' or not and i've discovered that the edition our professor gave us is not just a translation but 1. has translated/changed names which is usually not done so i wonder what the reason for that is and 2. seems to be marginally updated because a character mentioned a selfie. interesting...?
