Title: Loved the movie but the book.....
Review: I loved the film High Fidelity starring John Cusack. It was witty, funny, enjoyable and engrossing. So I bought the book thinking that a book is also better than the movie, especially when the book came first. At first it was enjoyable, very similar to the movie, but the I came upon many scenes that had been left out of the movie, and for good reason. By the time I had gotten two thirds of the way through I had gotten so sick and tired of it that I had to put it down. In the movie you liked and hated Robert, but in the novel you just hate him. I could barely relate to his bleal outlook on everything, and many of the "humorous" lines which appeared in the movie and the novel didn't have the same feeling in the novel, the came off as sad sayings of sad people, not as abnormal sayings from abnormal people, which in essence is better than the former. It was in whole a dissappointment.
Is the review positive or negative?
