I saw the film of this graphic novel/comic book story in lower sixth and adored it for it's oddness but wonderful characterisation, dry humour, cinematography, casting, and many other attributes. I've watched it at least 5 times if not a few more. It's great even if it is odd.
It was strange then to read the book. I bought it for myself for Christmas but only got around to it last night!
I really loved the images, it's really rather wonderful.
The elements of the book that are in the film transfer very well but I have to admit I found it a little bit lacking.
If I'd only read the comic I'm sure I'd adore it yet because I know the complexities of the film I just was upset that Seymour doesn't even properly exist in the comic. The Bob character looks a little like Steve Buscemi but he had few of the traits of Seymour.
I'm sure to read it again but I'm more likely to return to the film with the art class and the record collection and Scarlet Johansson.
4/5
