So, two years after the fact, Tarantino decided to turn his latest movie into a novel.

It's definitely an interesting read for fans of the movie. It tells the same story, but from somewhat of a different perspective. There are things in the book that are not in the movie, and things from the movie not in the book. And some things are told in a different order. It's pretty decent, I would definitely recommend it for Tarantino heads.

But there are many moments in the book that just go off on long tangents giving history lessons about different directors and movies. Things that have absolutely nothing to do with the plot, just Tarantino nerding out for no reason, as he is one to do. Should have expected that.

So I'm guessing he actually wrote it instead of having a ghostwriter? The rambling aspect is something I can understand. I've written some yarns and probably went on too long about things that don't affect the plot, but I feel like that can be a good thing if the rest of the story is interesting enough.

Not that I even read... I do get curious about these things though.

Oh yes, I'm sure that he actually wrote it. If you've seen him in interviews, you can actually feel his personality coming off the page.

So are you like Garth Marenghi, in that you've actually written more books than you've read? emoticon

Basically. I wrote three books, but these days, I opt for short stories. Since nobody reads my stuff, short stories seem like less of a waste of time to me.

I should probably give this one a go though. I also have American Psycho literally right behind me and I still haven't read that, and that's the only book I've ever "wanted" to read.

Oh man, American Psycho is sick. It's far, far nastier than the movie. You need to get on that!
