I loved the hellraiser movies and I was very excited to finally read the book it was based on. I really love the details on the cenobites and kirsty’s character, she’s such a bad ass in the book compared to the movie. I also found the differences the movie made to the story interesting though they aren’t very big. Definitely recommend.
