A review by catdad77a45
Elle by Philippe Djian

4.0

Like most people, I came to this after seeing the shocking, but excellent film version. Although the only other book by Dijan I've read was also due to it's film version (37°2 le matin, AKA Betty Blue), he is a novelist whose works continue to intrigue and astonish. This somewhat (pardon the expression), fleshes out the movie in important details, and makes somewhat more explicit what is only hinted at in the film. Well worth reading for the comparison. Thanx to Netgalley for the ARC.
