Title: See the movie instead
Review: I saw the movie first, and had heard good things about the book, so I picked it up. Here's the quick of it: FORGET THE BOOK and see the movie instead.Don't get me wrong, the book content is respectable, but the formatting is horrible! Cormac (the magician!) doesn't use double quotes around ANY of the dialogue. Now, sure, that is fun and interesting and one may make an argument that it is even artistic, but guess what? It makes it not much fun to read. And I bought a book to be a "good read" not an exercise in trying to figure out where the writer meant to switch from dialogue to an internal thought process or narration. Seriously!So that is why I say see the movie, especially since the movie is so close to the book.
Is the review positive or negative?
