What an unhinged and completely unnecessarily horny novelization for a film that is ALREADY BOTH OF THOSE.

Penguin is a straight up Richard Laymon character in this novel hahahaha it is kind of amazing. 

As a novelization it gets all of the main points of movie well and doesn't overstay its welcome. It is much more R-rated than the film its based off of, be warned.
