While i loved the movie and could watch it on repeat for days on end… this book disappointed me. It truly just feels like a simplified, less emotional version of the movie. I feel like the fast pace didn’t match the slowness of the movie and a story with so much detail and necessary slowness doesn’t translate into a book very well in this case. Not to mention the disgusting way the teacher and students think about women. The sexualization and assault of women made me dislike the book even more.

the movie was better than the book, but it was nice to see some deleted scenes written out as a part of the story - it kept the story from being so familiar it was boring. however, me having watched dead poets society countless times, i was basically watching the film in my mind while reading this.
