"Did you find any of the characters loveable ?"
The two sisters and that was it. Sam annoyed me and the Sheriff got on my nerves too.
I had come into this expecting it to be somewhat different from the movie and although Hitchcock changed around some things (example, in the book they remind us ten times a chapter that Norman is fat) and swapped him out for pretty boy Anthony Perkins.
It fits for film, but i think both work out well. book and film, it would be nice to see a version even more faithful to this book. I was locked in suspense from the moment I opened the first chapter due to Norman's unholy trilogy internal monologues.
10/10
