I read this, then watched the movie, and the book is so much better that I bumped it up to a 5 star (the movie is still great). I'm glad I finally got to read and watch Psycho; I've definitely been missing out.

Omg he poisoned his own mother and her lover! I loved how the book made the reader believe they killed themselves. Even the whole town was fooled
