I went into this book with preconceptions based on having seen the movie. I experienced a roller-coaster of emotions listening to this book which ranged from fascination and laughter to absolute utter disgust. The authors attention to detail is jaw dropping, The narrator does a fantastic job and I could visualise these words being spoken by Christian Bale which is not a bad thing as he played the part so well on screen.

The screen adaptation was a very stripped down version of this book but good in its own right, I only wish they left a few scenes in like the urinal cake scene which had me laughing out loud. if you have a seriously twisted sense of humour and tolerance for highly descriptive violence then this book will blow you away or damage you or both, enjoy.

This book has always been a cult classic favourite but the brilliant voice acting by Nick Landrum really elevated the experience to a whole new level. He really leaned into the characterisation and I applaud him

Cult classic with superb voice acting

Not well read words are actually mispronounced. It’s difficult to distinguish characters. It’s poorly directed.

Brilliant horror story
