bookconsumer1 's review for:
Dead Poets Society
by N.H. Kleinbaum
Got a hold of this before i realized it was based on the movie. and wow do i notice. i wouldnt get half of the book if i hadnt seen the movie.
the descriptions are super weird and fast paced. some stuff happen in one sentence and suddendly we're in an another scene and you have no idea how you ended up there. some scenes were edited from the movie, some removed and some added thats only in the book.
theres a scene in the movie where todd and neil runs around in their dorm, todd trying to get his text back from neil and their friends join them. i think its a nice scene that basically shows that theyre all good friends and their communtiy. that scene wasnt only removed, it was edited so that a completely different scene plays out. and its like this for other scenes too. WHY you may wonder, and so do i. the movie got great reviews and is seen like one of the best (not to me, its still worth watching though), so WHY would you change it if the book is supoosed to be based off of the movie?
You know what scene they added in the book instead that wasnt in the movie? The boys are taking an exam, and to "prepare" for college, mr Keating shows them slides of naked girls. like what. why was that scene necessary to add. it basically added onto all the misogyny that already existed in the book. none of the very few women in this book is treated like an actual human. Keating you deserved to be fired he is actually crazy in this book compared to the movie.
also because of the writing being weirdly paced, a lot of the characters actions seems weird and sudden. like someone tells todd (SPOILER) neil is dead and he IMMEDIATELY freaks out and screams and throws up in the bathroom in ONE sentence.
i couldve read this in one sitting because its only 165 pages but because reasons explained i read like 30 pages early this year and the rest today and yesterday because this was not enjoyable. it was still readable though, so if youre a huge fan of dps (unlike me), im sure youll love this.
