Having seen the movie SO many times, there was no mystery so that element did nothing for me. But, I bet when the book was published, the twist was very shocking as was the film version when it was released. But, even though though the mystery was gone, it was still a really good book and one I would recommend to anyone wanting to experience the inspiration for the popular Hitchcock movie.

I don’t know if it’s because I saw the movie or what but this just wasn’t it. I like the first half, but once Lila and Sam kind of took over the pacing of the book was just too fast

Great read, honestly wanted to read more. The character development is great. You really get into the mind of Norman. Would definitely recommend for a short weekend read.
