Summary: Probably more like 4 and 1/2
Comment: Yes we all know that the book is not the same as the movie, yes Alfred Hitchcock was a wonderful and masterful director, and no the book isn't better then the movie. Admittedly so I did see the movie dozens of times before reading the book, and yes I think the book is great but the only reason why it is not better is because it does move a bit fast, if you ask me the best story would be a combo of both movie and the book, because the movie had such wonderful memorable lines where the book was more of a narrative, but the in depth look into the psyche of the psycho is portrayed so much better in the book, all in all both are wonderful and the book is a must read.
On one final note when they did the remake I was so upset that they remade the movie word for word that was ludicrous they should have made the remake a combination of the movie and the book throwing in all the missing pieces the book brings in, and still keeping all of the extra's that the movie added
Rating: 4
Summary: Just another opinion
Comment: Some people say the movie was better, some people say the book was better. I'd say in terms of quality, they're about equal. The book is a bit different (for example Norman being a fat sweaty nervous guy and not a tall, thin, nervous guy). There is a little less about Mary in the novel, but I think there is more about Sam and Mary's sister. Unfortunately, as I was born long after Psycho become engrained in our culture, the end didn't surprise me, or really even disturb me, though I liked the way it was presented in the book more than the movie. It's a good, quick read if that's what your looking for, but I admit that watching the movie gives you the same disturbed feeling.
