mysteriousnorse 's review for:

Psycho by Robert Bloch
4.0

I was a bit worried about reading another horror classic after reading [b:Jaws|126232|Jaws (Jaws #1)|Peter Benchley|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1533963881l/126232._SY75_.jpg|2318370], but I actually think the novel and the film complement each other well. The novel gives more of Norman's psychology and expands on Lila and Sam, though I think the film does a bit better with Marion's mounting paranoia. The film also plays with genre in some fun ways. If you like the film, read the novel.
