Title: PSYCHO! No comparism between the movie and book!
Review: Now we all know Robert Bloch wrote the book a while before Alfred Hitchcock made the famous movie but even so, the book hardly compares to the movie. First of all, like many other reviews stated, it moves lightning fast and it gets really hard to keep up with the plot. Second, the death of Mary (not Marion) Crane is in one sentence ("And so was her head") in the version I read. I was very dissapointed. I was looking for a long, detailed, and bloody end to Mary that was in some part "similar" to the death in the movie. Unfortunatly, that's not what it was. Robert Bloch's "Psycho" is no match for the excitment of the movie Alfred Hitchcock created, is definitly not one of the best books i've ever read, and, plus, it is very different from the very different from the movie, so you might be dissapointed Nevertheless, though, if you want a fast-paced thriller with lots of action, Robert Bloch's "Psycho" is for you!
