If you watched the movie then you have read this book. The movie version added some scenes and changed around in the book but for the most part it’s the same thing. Still a good, quick read.

I'm not sure what I could really say, other than that this book feels like a very gothic, "decadent macabre" horror, and I'm also glad to have read this to get the background on the story before I ever go on to watch the movie Hellraiser.
